Water

Water connects ecosystems, communities, and governance. We work to advance policies and practices that ensure equitable access, sustainable management, and cultural protection of water resources across local, national, and global contexts.

Our Focus Areas

Water and aquatic systems, governance, and the connections between humans and their environment play a vital role in sustaining life, culture, and resilience through equitable water management.
