New partnership between Thailand’s Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) and Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to be signed on 3 June, will advance collaborative efforts in addressing critical water and natural resource challenges in the Mekong Region.

The MoU will facilitate collaboration between the two institutions: the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI),  an international non-profit research institute that tackles climate, environment and sustainable development challenges, and the ONWR, Thailand’s central body responsible for formulating and evaluating national water resources management policies, strategies and master plans.

Key areas of collaboration

The MoU will enable ONWR and SEI to pool technical expertise, research capabilities, and innovative solutions to tackle pressing issues such as water scarcity, flood and drought risks, and climate adaptation. The collaboration aligns with Thailand’s national water management priorities and the ONWR’s sustainability goals.

The MoU signing ceremony will take place at 10-11 AM CET in Stockholm, Sweden, with senior officials from both organizations in attendance.

The MoU will be effective from the date of signing by both parties up to a period of five years with the possibility for extension by mutual consent.
