Water Beyond Boundaries

The Water Beyond Boundaries (WBB) initiative by the Stockholm Environment Institute proposes a new approach to sustainable water planning based on three pillars: early ecosystem consideration, multi-interest/scale participatory approaches, and water (tele)connections. This framework is designed to address the increasing difficulty of water management caused by growing demand and a changing climate, emphasizing the need to move beyond watershed-based planning to include impacts across countries, regions, and generations, while centering poverty alleviation and social equity.

• The Water Beyond Boundaries (WBB) initiative is structured around three pillars: ensuring ecosystems are considered from the early stages of planning, utilizing participatory approaches that address power imbalances across scales, and extending sustainable water management beyond the watershed to focus on impact.
