Objective
The Singapore Youth Parliament for Water (SG-YPW) is a youth-led chapter that empowers young people to engage in water governance, advocate for sustainability, and drive climate-resilient solutions. Our vision is a future where youth meaningfully shape water policies and help ensure sustainable, equitable access to clean water. We are social cause-driven: we amplify youth voices, support policy-relevant dialogue, and lead community initiatives that strengthen water awareness and resilience.
Focus areas
- Publicity and youth voice: Building public awareness and strengthening youth participation through communications, campaigns, and community engagement.
- Community initiatives: Organising grassroots activities, awareness efforts, and educational programmes that promote water conservation and climate resilience.
- Research and innovation: Supporting youth-led research, knowledge-sharing sessions, and practical innovation to advance water sustainability and equitable access.
Key actions
- Youth engagement in water governance: Convening dialogues and sharing sessions that connect youth, practitioners, and decision-makers.
- Capacity building and knowledge dissemination: Organising expert-led panels/sharing sessions (online or in-person) and translating insights into accessible content.
- Community action and partnerships: Coordinating site visits and public-facing activities that strengthen water literacy and community participation.
- Digital outreach: Maintaining regular social updates and monthly themes to sustain momentum and grow participation.
