Overview
How do we bridge the gap between freshwater management and ocean health? As the impacts of climate change and pollution intensify, the Source-to-Sea (S2S) approach has become an essential framework for managing connected systems—from rivers, lakes, and aquifers to deltas, coasts, and the open ocean.
GEF IW:LEARN, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the UN Water Convention at UNECE, invites you to an interactive webinar exploring the practical implementation of S2S management in transboundary contexts.
Why Attend?
This webinar marks the launch of two landmark publications designed to provide actionable pathways for practitioners:
IW:LEARN Guidance: How to Apply the Source-to-Sea Approach in GEF IW Projects.
UNECE Guidance Note (2025): Implementation of Source-to-Sea Management in Transboundary Basins.
Participants will discover how these documents complement one another to support policy-making and project execution across borders and ecosystems.
What’s on the Agenda?
Expert Introduction: A deep dive into the new S2S methodologies and tools.
Practitioner Panel: Hear from project managers and experts who have successfully applied S2S management in real-world transboundary basins.
Interactive Q&A: Engage with the authors and panelists to discuss shared challenges and solutions.
