Mediterranean LME-TDA
- The Mediterranean countries, recognized that there is a need for a coordinated and innovative approach for the implementation of policy reforms, priority interventions and investments that address transboundary pollution and biodiversity conservation priorities identified in the two SAPs and the NAPs. Accordingly, they have agreed on a collective effort for the protection of the environmental resources of the Mediterranean, the Strategic Partnership for the Mediterranean Sea Large Marine Ecosystem, led by UNEP and the World Bank, co-funded by the GEF and involving other relevant agencies, IFIs and bilateral and multilateral donors. The Partnership will serve as a catalyst in leveraging policy/legal/institutional reforms as well as additional investments for reversing degradation of the Mediterranean Sea Basin, with its coastal habitats and marine living resources.

Handbook for Integrated Water Resources Management in the Basins of Transboundary Rivers, Lakes and Aquifers
- More than half of the world population daily lives in the basins of 276 transboundary rivers and lakes or nearly 300 aquifers. Cooperation among the riparian countries to better manage water resources and the environments in these basins, in the interest of all users and all sectors, is becoming imperative as the pressure on water resources is increasing because of the global changes which are intensifying. The integrated approach to water resources management that many countries now have introduced in their national policy appears as the basis for improved management of transboundary basins.

Manuel Sur La Gestion Integree Des Resources en Eau Dans Les Basins Des Fleuves, Des Lacs et Des Aquifers Transfrontaliers
- Plus de la moitié de la population mondiale dépend au quotidien de ressources en eau partagées par plusieurs pays, qu’il s’agisse d’eaux superficielles de fleuves et de lacs transfrontaliers ou d’eau souterraine contenue dans des aquifères étendus sur plusieurs pays. Alors que la demande pour ce bien précieux continue à s’accroitre, le besoin de coopération entre les pays pour gérer au mieux cette ressource devient un impératif de plus en plus fort. Le partage de cette ressource et des bénéfices qu’elle procure, en respectant les différents besoins sociaux, économiques et environnementaux et en tenant compte du contexte d’incertitude et d’instabilité financière grandissantes est un des plus grands défis auquel nous devons tous faire face.
