4-LMC Youth Factsheet

The 4-LMC Youth Factsheet describes a 2023-2024 project by the Stockholm Environment Institute and partners to establish the Water Sector Youth Leadership Network (WSYLN) within the Mekong-Lancang Cooperation (MLC) framework. The project aims to move beyond volunteerism to create a sustainable network of young practitioners, researchers, and community leaders to enhance inclusive water resource governance and cooperation across the region.

• The project's primary mission is to create the Water Sector Youth Leadership Network (WSYLN), which will include a new generation of community leaders, researchers, and practitioners. This network is intended to foster inclusive management and governance of water resources through joint actions, research, and the sharing of best practices across the basin.
• The initiative is grounded in the Mekong-Lancang Cooperation (MLC) framework, specifically building on the 2016 Sanya Declaration's encouragement of youth exchanges to create a think tank network and the June 8, 2021, joint statement from the Sixth MLC Foreign Ministers' Meeting regarding the training of science and engineering professionals.
• The project's objectives include improving the capacity of young professionals to lead MLC activities, strengthening partnerships between policymakers, practitioners, and researchers, and promoting positive cooperation among MLC countries. Key activities to achieve this include regional consultation workshops, capacity-building trainings, and the development of a synthesis report on existing youth networks.
