More than 70 practitioners and decision makers from Southeastern Europe in fields related to water resources management on the one hand and hydropower production on the other, discussed challenges and priority issues related to hydropower development in transboundary basins and means to address these.
It was the first time these two “communities” came together and identified areas of cooperation and coordination.
The International Roundtable contributed in initiating a wider dialogue on Water, Energy and Food Nexus in Southeastern Europe with special focus on related considerations in the river basin management frameworks.
The International Roundtable was organized in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 6 to 8 November 2013 by the German Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Regional Cooperation Council, Global Environment Facility (GEF) IWLEARN and the Global Water Partnership Mediterranean.
