Fifteen countries, the United Nations and an Indian think-tank have come together to create a Global High Level Panel on Water and Peace that aims to prevent water wars and conflicts that could generate peace dividends of $100-200 billion annually. United Nations Water, an apex body that coordinates 27 UN agencies, would be an observer on the panel chaired by former Slovenian president Danilo Turk.
