Meaningful Youth Engagement in Water: Partnering with the Youth in Improving Water Security

The youth are our future. They hold in their hands the agency to affect the world's politics, progress, and reform. Over 50% of global youth (or over 1.1 billion people aged under 30) reside in Asia and the Pacific-a region facing many issues in water scarcity and climate change. If we are to achieve water security and resilience in our region, we must find a way to better engage the youth.
ADB's Water Sector Group has partnered with ADB's Youth for Asia to develop a roadmap for Meaningful Youth Engagement in the water sector. The roadmap includes evidence of the effectiveness of youth participation and pathways to achieve it.
