Transboundary Resources
Transboundary resources are natural resources that cross or lie within the borders of two or more countries. These resources can include rivers, lakes, forests, and mineral deposits. Effective management of transboundary resources is essential to ensure sustainable use and to prevent conflicts between nations sharing these assets.
Cooperation among countries is crucial for the conservation and equitable distribution of transboundary resources. International agreements and treaties, such as the United Nations Watercourses Convention, help facilitate collaboration and establish guidelines for the responsible management of shared resources, promoting peace and sustainability.
