History

The history of WANI started in 2000 with the World Water Vision, based on recognition that water is the basis for all living ecosystems, envisioned in a world in which adequate water is provided to meet basic human needs in an equitable manner and in harmony with nature.

Members

Working with IUCN members is key for the implementation of the Water and Nature Initiative. Members can consist of states, NGO's, research organisations, and others. They each contribute their own strenghts and experiences to the success of WANI.

Partners

Partners form an integral part to the work and scaling up of WANI. Whether international or local, joining forces with partner organisations creates stronger alliances and more effective practical action at the global level and in the field.
