The World Youth Parliament for Water is preparing for the 6th World Water Forum

09 November 2011

The World Youth Parliament for Water is preparing for the 6th World Water Forum.
Nearly 50 young people from all continents, including 10 young WYPW parliamentarians are meeting this month in Douai, France, committing to water solutions in regards to 4 topics: access to safe water and sanitation worldwide, impacts of climate change and natural disasters, governance in water resources management at river basin level and, last but not least, a World Youth Parliament for Water Charter for the long term which will be unveiled in March 2012. All involved in associations or political life, the 18 to 23 years old, all students in political sciences, law, environment, geography, natural sciences... are highly ecology-conscious and dedicated to the cause of water. Beyond the will of having the voice of the youth be heard, the WYPW is also advocating for fairness and geographical balance, ensuring all regions of the world and all populations are taken into account in the global discussions, including weaker voices of low resource population.

On the road to the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille, the World Youth Parliament for Water delegates are now involved in the preparatory process, working on their roadmap and strategy of actions for Marseille.
