UN Water Conference 2026

The next UN Water Conference will be held in 2026.

ZWDP hosted an official side event for the UN Water Conference in 2023 ‘The Voice of Children and Youth on Water for Sustainable Development; Taking Action for Humanity and the Planet‘ where we launched the Saving the World’s Water Towers campaign. 

UN Resolution passed in 2024  “2026 United Nations Water Conference to Accelerate the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all” sets the agenda for the meeting.

 

We are planning a satellite conference where our partner schools can a present their projects and deliver key advocacy for Action on Water for Sustainability. This  continues the implementation of the Children’s Call to Action to protect mountain areas from the impact of climate change launched at COP 26 Climate Conference in Glasgow in 2021, see recordings of the session ‘Transforming our World: Children’s Voice for 2025‘.

We will be posting details of activities that will feed into the meeting in the coming months. 

Two activities we hope to report on next month will be the Moser School Nyon (Switzerland) Ice to Ice’ project and ZWDP film and eBook project. 

Our policy and advocacy  work is progressing well with a focus on developing the ZWDP issue brief that will underpin the Youth and Schools session planned for the COP 30 Climate Conference in Brazil this November.
