A Word from the President of the European Youth Parliament for Water

"With every year that passes, we can see the effects of climate change even more clearly. Youth must lead the movement towards progress. We can no longer afford to be self-interested, closed and without hope. Let’s stick together: for tomorrow, for our future, and for life."
—Victor Macé, Strasbourg, France

The European Youth Parliament for Water is an initiative of Solidarity Water Europe that brings together European youth to learn about and act for a sustainable water future. This year's event was held from October 1-7 in Rovereto, Italy, on the theme of Water and Peace. Learn more on our website.

Your Future, Your Climate – #TonFuturTonClimat

This initiative supports three youth led micro-projects in three West African countries. Their projects build capacity for local agriculture and increase resilience against climate change in Burkina Faso, Togo and Benin. #TonFuturTonClimat has been made possible thanks to the financial support of the Government of Québec.
Catch the presentation Wednesday at 1:00 at the La Francophonie pavilion (Bonn Zone).
