The Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention) is an international legal instrument and intergovernmental platform which aims to ensure the sustainable use of transboundary water resources. Initially negotiated as a regional instrument, it was opened up globally for accession to all UN Member States in 2016. Membership to the Water Convention is growing steadily, with five Parties from outside the UNECE region joining this global instrument in the period 2016–2021. Furthermore, a growing number of countries are in the process of accession and numerous activities under the Convention are implemented worldwide.
