Strengthening Regional Collectives for Freshwater Ecosystem Action

​Regional collectives are emerging as a critical pathway for advancing freshwater ecosystem conservation at scale. Many groups are already working at basin, sub-basin, or landscape levels, but often face challenges around coordination, facilitation, governance, and sustaining collective action.

​This 1.5-hour working session builds on the discussions and notes from the recent Alliance convening and is the first step in shaping a Regional Collectives Circle within the Alliance for Conserving Freshwater Ecosystems. The focus of this session is to collectively identify the key activities this circle should undertake over the coming year.

​Together, we will:

• ​Build on insights and needs surfaced during the convening

• ​Further articulate gaps and priorities for regional collectives

• ​Explore how the Alliance can support stronger, more holistic collective action

• ​Identify a focused, realistic set of activities for the next 12 months

​This will be a participatory, working session aimed at translating earlier discussions into a clear, actionable agenda for the Regional Collectives track.
