Background information
At the ISTF26, the Geneva Water Hub will participate to the youth challenge n°5 "Elevating Water for Peace in the International Arena".
"If water is shared equitably and spared from pollution and the ravages of armed conflict, peace can prevail. With the upcoming UN 2026 Water Conference, the international community will have a key platform to rethink global water governance. This challenge is to reimagine the global water architecture post-2030 and promote the idea that water is used as a catalyst for peace rather than a source of conflict at the UN 2026 Conference."
