For millennia, countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have developed laws, regulations and other rules to govern their scarce water. These laws have been updated in recent years. This review of the legal frameworks (including regulations, decrees and other rules) reveals both progress and gaps in managing water quality, water quantity and procedural aspects. Of note,

This report focuses on the gendered impact of climate change and how this intersects with women and girls’ right to peace. At the time of writing this report, there is a growing recognition of the need for the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda to take into account how the climate crisis poses risks to women and girls’ peace and security, particularly in conflict and post conflict contexts. Food security, water insecurity and displacement are issues affecting women and girls due to extreme weather and the climate emergency. The intersection of WPS, climate change, ecological destruction and conflict or post-conflict situations thus raises a myriad of issues. As the recent UN Report on Gender, Climate and Security put it: “There is therefore an urgent need for better analysis and concrete, immediate actions to address the linkages between climate change and conflict from a gender perspective”.

Nepal and India share transboundary rivers in the Ganges Basin. Sapta-Kosi, Sapta-Gandaki, Mahakali and Karnali are some of them. In the dry season, Nepali rivers contribute up to 70% of the total flow to the Ganges, while the contribution on average annual flow is about 45%. Nepal and India have signed bilateral treaties and agreements to utilise shared rivers, but politicisation of these pacts has obstructed development. This chapter aims to contribute on policy programming thereby addressing the gaps. It identifies and delineates the potential of cooperation and conflict between Nepal and India in managing transboundary rivers. International water laws, bilateral treaties and agreements are also reviewed to present evidence. Likewise, interviews were also conducted with water sector experts to be better informed of their perceptions about Indo-Nepal shared water resources.
