S3E9 - How to Speak Up and Empower More Young Water Professionals
with 🎙️ Hasmik Barseghyan, President of the European Youth Parliament for Water, among other strategic roles at the World Water Quality Alliance, the World Energy Council, the International Secretariat for Water, or Woman in Climate and Energy.
💧 The EYPW aims to promote youth involvement in the water sector by increasing their awareness of water resource management issues and by fostering an understanding of citizenship and democracy.
What we covered:
🍏 How young voices like Camille Etienne, Luisa Neubauer, Leah Namugerwa, or Greta Thunberg lead a (green) revolution
🍏 How success can be defined as the point in time where the cause stays even if the leaders disappear
🍏 How young people have much to say if we ensure that their voices are heard
🍎 How young water professionals might not be numerous enough, which may result in missing human capital
💪 How COP26 may be a good occasion to tell the world how much leaders and countries value sustainable development
🍏 How ambition and "doing good" in the Water and Sanitation sector boils down to reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goal n°6
🍏 How you have to be unhappy to finally realize how happy you were
🍏 How Water may be used as a weapon in political or economic conflicts - and how human rights to Water in conflict zones should be embedded in political agreements
🍏 How initiatives like the Blue Peace Movement enable young people from the same river catchment to work together
🍏 How Water is more scarce than oil - even if we speak more about oil than Water.
🍏 How we need to find the right way to live with nature, to benefit from its positive health impact, effectiveness, and overall well-being increases
🍏 But also, building to last, passing the torch, the burden of climate change on women, human capital development, and much more!
