𝗜 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 — 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝘂𝗺, 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 — 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀.

But life on a farm meant we were surrounded by men most of the time. Farmhands, neighbours, family friends — the kind of men who worked hard, looked out for one another and quietly showed up when it mattered.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve realised how much I’ve learned from the men in my life — not just from my dad, but from my husband, my friends and the colleagues who have supported me, challenged me and stood beside me as allies.

Today, on 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, I want to recognise and thank the men who model kindness, strength, humility and respect — the ones who make space for others to thrive.

To my dad, my husband and the many men who’ve walked alongside me: thank you for showing that allyship isn’t just about words, but actions.

Let’s keep celebrating and supporting the good men in our lives — and the role they play in building a more equal and compassionate world.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟬 — yet young people remain underrepresented in decisions shaping their future.

The World Economic Forum’𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 — a network of over 10,000 young changemakers across 500 cities — shows what happens when youth leadership is not symbolic, but strategic.

In 2024–2025 alone, Global Shapers led 800+ projects reaching 2.2 million people — from advancing climate resilience to building trust in AI and tackling health inequities.

This is what global action looks like when the next generation leads it.

𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱.
Whether it was feeding livestock, growing crops, or sustaining the community — water was the quiet constant that determined everything. When you live with scarcity, you learn to see water not as a resource to be managed, but as a lifeline to be protected.

Today, as cities around the world confront the pressures of climate change, urbanisation and rising water insecurity, that lesson feels more urgent than ever. The choices we make about water will shape our future resilience, our food systems, and our ability to thrive together.

That’s why a new World Economic Forum report — developed in collaboration with 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻 and supported by the 𝗛𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 — called 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗧: 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.

This report explores how cities can unlock innovation to build more resilient and sustainable water systems. Drawing from six cities — 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼, 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮, 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮, 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝘂 — it identifies the governance, finance and partnership enablers that allow new solutions to take root and scale.

At its heart is the Water-BOOST framework — a practical toolkit that helps decision-makers strengthen the systems that make water innovation possible.

Water taught me early on that resilience is a collective effort. This report offers a path forward — one that connects local realities with global solutions.
