Bangladesh officially joined the United Nations’ Water Convention on June 20, becoming the first South Asian nation and the 56th globally to do so. The move aims to enhance cooperation on managing 57 shared rivers, including the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna system, critical for water security, environmental stability, and regional peace. The convention offers a legal framework for sustainable transboundary water management. Bangladesh has been engaged with the convention since 2012 and will receive full UN support ahead of the 2026 UN Water Conference.
