Water Ethics Charters

 

Developing written statements of key value principles comprising consensus positions that all stakeholders can endorse.  

 

• Global Water Ethics Charter.  In collaboration with other organizations, the Institute is working to develop a declaration (charter) prescribing a set of the ethical principles to guide decisions about water use and water ecosystem management.  

​

• Local Water Charters provide a tool for integrating water ethics into new plans, policies and programs, as outlined in this short Handbook for Crafting a Local Water Ethics Charter.  During 2017 we are working with local partners in Santa Fe, New Mexico to develop a community-led  Santa Fe Water Charter.
