SDGs, Transboundary waters, La Plata Basin, Management toolsAbstract
This article presents the main challenges for the prospective shared management of transboundary water resources, having as central analysis the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG-6 on water and sanitation. To this end, it considers the La Plata Basin, the fifth largest transboundary basin in the world, shared by Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, and the Intergovernmental Coordinating Committee of the La Plata Basin Countries (CIC) as a case study. The analysis is based on literature review methodologies and desk studies and focuses on the interactions of the CIC's Strategic Action Plan (SAP) with SDG-6 and its indicators. The article enumerates the relevant aspects of this milestone of this international agenda framework with the construction of tools and initiatives that facilitate the management of the transboundary waters of the La Plata Basin by the SAP.
