With globally growing pressure on water resources, a better understanding of conflict and cooperation dynamics over shared water resources is crucial: How and when does water trigger conflicts? What can we do to prevent water-related tensions? What can we learn from existing collaboration to improve future cooperation over water and secure equitable access? And how can we achieve more inclusive and fair diplomatic processes?
