WWF works to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife, collaborating with partners from local to global levels in nearly 100 countries. WWF seeks to change how water is managed around the world. They encourage states relying on the same river to better coordinate their shared freshwater resources, and they advocate for water security in sustainable development. They also help strengthen the effectiveness of river basin management organizations so they are empowered to protect the natural capital of river basins and ensure climate-smart governance. By partnering with multilateral institutions and global influencers like the Global Environment Facility (GEF), they can bring our holistic management and policy solutions to scale. We also push governments and others to place water higher on global and regional agendas to ensure that freshwater ecosystem integrity is considered in decision making processes.
