Description
In the past year, more than 250 young water professionals from Latin America and the Caribbean came together to dialogue, reflect, and co-create proposals addressing the challenges and opportunities surrounding sustainable water management and equitable water distribution across our region.
This Declaration brings together the voices, experiences, and visions of youth committed to the human right to water, equity, sustainability, and peace. It represents a collective call to transform water governance models, place life at the center of decision-making, and advance solutions built from and with local territories.
Youth in Latin America and the Caribbean are not only participating — they are proposing, leading, and taking action. We continue building the future, through water and for all generations.
As the World Youth Parliament for Water, we envision a dynamic, collaborative network where national chapters actively engage in regional discussions on water challenges, exchange knowledge, and co-develop solutions with governments and stakeholders. Our regional efforts aim to generate research-based perspectives, functioning as a Think Tank that translates youth expertise into concrete policy recommendations for water authorities, policymakers, the private sector, and local communities. We strive to be the leading youth-driven water governance platform, offering
innovative insights and technical expertise to influence decision-making.
Our goal is not merely to advocate for youth inclusion but to ensure stakeholders recognize and seek our contributions based on the quality of our research, innovative solutions, and hands-on project engagement. Moving forward, we aspire to evolve beyond the Think Tank model by launching youth-led initiatives and projects in every region, creating lasting and meaningful impact.
We encourage you to read the full Latin American and Caribbean Youth Declaration on Water, which provides a deeper understanding of the ideas previously presented and proposes concrete solutions to the identified issues.
