In our new report, Interweaving Waters, Forests and Communities \u2013 Strategies and Lessons for Water Justice<\/a>, we share key insights from years of work on water governance under the Forests for a Just Future<\/a> programme and its predecessor, implemented as part of the Green Livelihoods Alliance<\/a>. It captures the experiences and reflections of civil society partners working on the frontlines of water and forest protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

The report highlights practical strategies, challenges, and lessons learnt in advancing water justice – showing how protecting forests, securing community rights, and strengthening local governance are essential to safeguarding water for people and nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
