PEER2PEER Seminar Series: Transboundary Water Governance and the Colorado River
Like other transboundary rivers around the world, the Colorado River is characterized a long, complicated history marked by conflict and cooperation. Home to some 40 million people and supporting agricultural economies, cities, and tribal communities, the river is seen as the lifeblood of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Today, the basin faces a changing climate, vanishing delta, and a structural deficit, among other ecological and political challenges. Negotiations are underway within the United States, and bilaterally between the United States and Mexico, to manage and share the declining river flows. This webinar will trace the evolution of this 75+ year transboundary relationship outlining the history and examining the modern governance context. It will reveal the role of science, non-state actors, and institutional arrangements to foster collaboration and promote diplomacy in the face of broader inequities and governance failures.
