Youth Action for SDG 6 – IWA & Grundfos Fellowship Outcomes: 2nd Cohort
Published on Sep 17, 2026
Building on the first edition of Youth Action for SDG 6, this publication showcases the work and perspectives of the second cohort of the IWA & Grundfos Youth Action for SDG 6 Fellowship. It explores how young water professionals are contributing to locally led solutions that strengthen resilience and adaptation across the water sector. Drawing on experiences and case studies from diverse contexts, the publication examines leadership and learning, utilities and institutional transformation, community-led water governance, water and economic resilience, and nature-based solutions. Together, the contributions demonstrate how youth leadership, local knowledge, inclusive governance and cross-sector collaboration can help translate global ambitions for Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) into meaningful action on the ground.
