Indigenous and Youth Solutions for Clean Water

A UN DESA Global Policy Dialogue

Thursday, 9 March 2023, 9:00-10:30 a.m. ET

What can we do now to ensure that every person has access to adequate water and sanitation facilities?
How can sustainable water management efforts improve resiliency?
What water management solutions from youth and Indigenous Peoples can be scaled up for climate action?

Ahead of the upcoming UN Water Conference, UN DESA will organize a Global Policy Dialogue on “Indigenous and Youth Solutions for Clean Water,” highlighting how Sustainable Development Goal 6 for clean water and sanitation is a cross-cutting issue supporting the entire 2030 Agenda. By raising the voices of youth and Indigenous Peoples, this event aims to highlight the intersectionality of the issues these vulnerable groups face and showcase their innovative solutions to the water crisis.

The event is free and open to all, and also will be streamed live on UN DESA’s Facebook page. It will be held in English with captions available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. The event is made possible by the United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund.

All are welcome! Please feel free to share this invitation with your networks.
