What Does GIWA Stand For?

GIWA stands for Global International Waters Assessment

GIWA, or Global International Waters Assessment, is an initiative focused on the systematic evaluation of the ecological, social, and economic conditions of international waters. The program aims to identify key issues affecting transboundary water bodies, promote sustainable management practices, and facilitate cooperation among countries sharing these resources. By integrating scientific research and stakeholder engagement, GIWA provides valuable insights to support policy development and enhance the health of marine and freshwater ecosystems worldwide.
