Our year-end message
As 2024 draws to a close, the GEF IW:LEARN project reflects on an extraordinary year of growth, collaboration, and achievements.  In September, the 10th GEF International Waters Conference (IWC10), held in Uruguay, marked three decades of GEF IW transformative action in transboundary water management. Complementing this milestone, IW:LEARN also achieved record-breaking digital engagement and contributed to critical global discussions through webinars, events, and campaigns. Read the full message here.
