Water Diplomacy
The demand for fresh water is announced to exceed availability by 40% in 2030 already. The correspondingly increased competition over water resources holds the potential for (unpredictable) tensions and conflicts in delicate contexts. The Blue Peace Initiative (BPI) wants to enhance water cooperation across borders, sectors and generations in order to foster peaceful, cohesive, and sustainable societies. RésEAU supports regional water networks in Central Asia and the Middle East where the BPI is very active.
