The GEF International Waters area has helped countries work together to secure a wide range of economic, political, and environmental benefits from shared surface water, groundwater, and marine systems. But the GEF action on water does not stop there.
Together with its many partner agencies the GEF is also helping to integrate sustainable water solutions into other areas such as sustainable land management, biodiversity, chemicals management, the energy sector, and climate change adaptation. These GEF operations address the water crisis by integrating water considerations into other sectors and have shown countries a path to achieve greater water use efficiencies and a more balanced approach to competing water uses.
