Grundfos partners with International Water Association (IWA) to promote the Youth Action for SDG 6 Fellowship.
It offers 12 young water professionals a chance to participate in the UN 2023 Water Conference in New York and be part of important discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Ulrik Gernow, Grundfos’ chief operating officer, said: “It is now time to find the 12 young water professionals and give them this unique experience and opportunity. This is a chance to think ahead and allow the next generation to meet and inspire world leaders as well as learn from and network with other professionals. These opportunities don’t occur often, so I do hope that a lot of young water professionals will apply.”
Besides participating in the UN 2023 Water Conference, the young water professionals, who will be selected by IWA, will also participate in a gathering at the Grundfos headquarters in Bjerringbro to present their key learnings from the Water Conference and engage in brainstorming sessions to support the development of a joint Grundfos-IWA publication.
The publication will focus on how the water sector can maximise the benefits of integrating young professionals to achieve sustainable development and will give insights into the critical role young people have in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
