Representing the Global Youth Movement for Water

As a UN-Water-accredited member of the Global Youth Movement for Water, the World Youth Parliament for Water acts as a link between this network of youth-led organizations and institutional actors represented in UN-Water. This allows the WYPW to bring global, regional and local youth voices and priorities to this forum and bring the results of discussions and governance decisions made back to the network. This essential link has been ensured by the WYPW for several years informally, and more formally since the official launch of the Global Youth Movement for Water in 2022.

United Nations System-wide Strategy for Water and Sanitation

The Contributing Actions are key initiatives supporting the United Nations System-wide Strategy for Water and Sanitation, aligning individual and joint efforts across UN entities and partnering organizations to advance global water and sanitation goals. These actions are integrated into the Collaborative Implementation Plan (CIP) Results Framework 2025-2028, which provides a structured approach to achieving system-wide impact through coordinated UN efforts.
The Priority Collaborative Actions outlined in the framework focus on enhancing water security, improving governance, strengthening climate resilience, and accelerating progress on sanitation and hygiene. By fostering system-wide collaboration among UN agencies, these actions help drive policy coherence, knowledge sharing, and innovative solutions to address the world’s most pressing water challenges.
