It aims to promote and gradually develop peer-to-peer exchanges and twinning alliances between basin organisations.   As the first confirmed component of this initiative, a “Peer-to-Peer” support project for river basins has been developed with the support of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA). The overall aim of this action is to improve the sustainable management of water resources in a context of increasing pressure and climate change, through worldwide exchanges of experience between teams from the basin organisations themselves. RALLYING AROUND ADVOCACY INITIATIVES This 10th World Water Forum will also be an opportunity for INBO to promote advocacy initiatives initiated or relayed: •   the Bali Basin Champions Agenda, an initiative that sets out the commitments made by basin champions to make management by and for river basins a political priority. •    the Transboundary Water Cooperation Coalition, to demonstrate the benefits of transboundary water cooperation for both upstream and downstream countries. •     the Bali Coalition to Strengthen Training in the Water Sector will be launched at the World Water Forum by INBO, the International Office for Water (OiEau) and their partners. •    the “Water and Climate” project incubator, to help budding project leaders from all over the world to develop their projects and bring them to fruition. PRESENTING KEY PUBLICATIONS New publications will be presented, including a flagship publication: the Transfer of Waste and Plastics in Aquatic Environments Handbook, published in four languages (French, English, Spanish, Chinese) to understand and act on this global challenge. The handbook was written in partnership with the French Waste Partnership (PFD), the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), the French Development Agency (AFD) and the French Biodiversity Office (OFB). It combines in-depth articles and case studies (Cambodia, Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Côte d’Ivoire, United States, Australia, etc.) and presents tried and tested solutions that can be adapted to different contexts.
