Indigenous and Youth Solutions for Clean Water

As part of the UN system’s commitment to SDG 6, and as a lead-in to the UN 2023 Water Conference, UN DESA in March 2023 organized a Global Policy Dialogue on “Youth and Indigenous Solutions for Water,” highlighting several key messages of the Conference, including how water 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.
