As a continuation of the Young Water & Sustainability Leader (YWSL) program from 2021, we, alongside the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, are supporting the Bali Youth Plan as part of the 10th World Water Forum. This is more than just a program – it’s a launchpad for young water warriors. Through competitions, podcasts, capacity-building programs, dialogue sessions, and creative writing, young professionals are empowered to share their ideas, connect with experts, and become agents of change. By amplifying young voices at the 10th World Water Forum, the program fosters dialogue and collaboration, ensuring that youth perspectives are heard and integrated into the bigger picture. This initiative culminates in the “Bali Youth Water Prize,” recognizing outstanding young contributions to water sustainability.

The Young Water Sustainability Leaders (YWSL) Summit, aligned with the 10th World Water Forum in Bali, Indonesia, will bring together young water experts to raise awareness about the vital link between water security and lasting peace. This timely event will provide a platform for young leaders to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas, fostering collaboration and building a strong global network.
