🚨 Capacity development series towards the 2026 UN Water Conference: Session 4 on september 10th

Financing remains one of water's most pressing challenges: ODA for water and sanitation has declined since its 2018–2019 peak, private capital covers less than 2% of annual water spending in developing countries, and non-revenue water still averages around 36% globally — reaching 40% in emerging and low-income economies.

Yet real opportunities exist - join us to get to know them !

This 4th session will bring together young water professionals, public institutions, financial partners and civil society to explore practical financing pathways, emerging technologies, and youth's role in making water investments more efficient, sustainable and accountable.

🚨 New article in The Water Diplomat – Interactive Dialogue C, a youth perspective

The climate crisis is a water crisis. As heatwaves, wildfires and droughts destabilize the hydrological cycle, breaking down the silos between climate, biodiversity and water becomes urgent, connecting fragmented multilateral tracks into coordinated action. 🍃

As the international community prepares for the 2026 UN Water Conference, young leaders are mobilizing around Interactive Dialogue C “Water for planet”, making the case that water is the connective thread running through the climate, biodiversity and desertification agendas. And that closing the implementation gap on SDG 6 hinge on nature-based solutions, stronger governance synergies, and genuinely intergenerational leadership. ✨
