Yunzhong Jiang on ‘Youth Participating in Water Security’<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Coming after the five-minute video presenting the said stories, Yunzhong Jiang,<\/strong> regional coordinator of GWP China, brought audiences ensemble inputs from partner organizations such as the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR)<\/strong>, China Water Education Center of Ministry of Water Resources<\/strong>, China Water and Power Press (CWPP)<\/strong>, Shenzhen Municipal Youth Association<\/strong>, and National Water Museum of China<\/strong> on this theme. Feedbacking \u2018what is the unique role of young people in achieving water security?\u2019, Yunzhong said, \u201cWater and other natural sciences, conventionally, have emphasized on historical records and old school experiences. Traditional rules and tools were once an overwhelming feature in the water governance and relevant policymaking, but their functions have been dwindling in recent years. Fragile performance in water prevention has killed off the reputation of the old-style water management system after extreme disasters and climate change impacts brought conservators to knees. It comes just as new theories, sci-tech and younger generations arrive when extra complicated challenges are looming. While promoting innovations and updating management skills, we should welcome young professionals who are more adapted to fresh ideas and advanced technologies into the preserve of decision-makers\u201d.<\/p>\n
