This book works to build trust, consensus, and capacity to enhance understanding through a water conflict management framework designed to bolster collaborative skills.

The authors assess the complexities of climate challenges and explain how to create sustainable, effective, and efficient water approaches for an improved ecological and socioeconomic future within the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
