| The fifth session of the Meeting of the Parties will mark a milestone in the evolution of transboundary water management in the UNECE region and beyond. Since its entry into force in 1996 the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe 's (UNECE) Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention) has provided an important legal framework and contributed to improving transboundary water management in the pan-European region. |

The fifth session of the Meeting of the Parties will be an opportunity to review the progress achieved in the Convention's implementation and to reflect on and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. A wide variety of topics that have been the focus of work in the past three years will be discussed, ranging from ratification and implementation of the Convention, climate change adaptation in the transboundary context, including transboundary flood risk management, ecosystem services for water management, to assessment of transboundary waters. The high-level segment will focus on water cooperation in Central Asia.
