Video Submissions open for Youth Water Forum

Water-related issues have become increasingly prevalent worldwide due to recent climate change, resulting in devastating floods, heavy snowfall, and droughts. Water is a vital theme that intersects with the entire United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is intricately linked to the history of the communities.

Resolving water challenges requires collaborative efforts that span across generations. That’s why they are calling upon young citizens, the leaders of tomorrow, to create videos centered around the theme of water.

Water is not only a global issue but also a regional concern in Japan. It is a topic that intersects with various goals and targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and solving water-related issues requires intergenerational efforts. That’s why they have launched the Youth Water Forum as a platform for the next generation, to engage in. They believe the sustainable future depends on how they face this challenge collectively.

You are free to choose any topic related to water, such as everyday experiences with water, research on water, local volunteer activities and traditional events related to water in your community, or water-related international programs you have participated in the past. The possibilities are endless!
