“Online Training Course on the ‘Greening’ of Water Law: Implementing environment-friendly principles in contemporary water treaties and laws” now available online

The Online Training Course on the ‘Greening’ of Water Law: Implementing environment-friendly principles in contemporary water treaties and laws, which was developed by AIDA upon a request by UNEP (now UN Environment), focuses on the implementation of international principles for sustainable water management through the lens of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). It aims at illustrating the main ‘green’ principles of international water law stemming from both binding and non-binding instruments, and their implementation in domestic legislation, transboundary agreements and related judicial decisions. The course is mainly intended for policy makers and the staff of transboundary River Basin Organizations (RBO), as well as for national water authorities, to foster the understanding of international and domestic water law and to build capacity for its implementation. The target audience also includes policy makers and the staff of regional and national legislatures, technocrats and water managers, as well as graduate students in various disciplines (e.g. law, policy, water management, etc.). The course is now accessible online, at http://e-learning.informea.org/course/index.php?categoryid=11
