FLAGSTAFF, Arizona – "On Friday, August 23, 2024, members of #TóNizhóníÁní traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, for World Water Week 2024, an international leading conference on global water issues organized by the Stockholm International Water Institute. Earlier this year, Tó Nizhóní Ání was invited to attend World Water Week 2024 and asked to be on a panel on #GreenColonialism. The #Sámi national youth organization, #Sáminuorra, organized this panel. Given this panel's #Indigenous youth focus, Tó Nizhóní Ání took this opportunity to fund raise and send a delegation of Diné (#Navajo) youth from the Black Mesa region to represent and speak on this topic.

"During the panel on Green Colonialism, #JarenNumkena, Diné youth from Black Mesa, spoke on his upbringing as a farmer, the history of his family as a #coal-impacted community member, and the proposed projects on and near Black Mesa, such as the #BlackMesaPumpedStorageProject and the #HydrogenPipeline. As our nation moves to alternative forms of energy, we must do so in a way that does not use or impact our water on the #NavajoNation, which is why we need #solar and #wind energy."

Just in time for #WorldWaterWeek in Stockholm, we're releasing a new peer-reviewed article about the consequences of the destruction of Kakhovka dam and reservoir for the people and ecosystems of Ukraine and the Black Sea.

Here's a link to a full pdf of the article:

In celebration of the #WWWeek2023, check out the #C3S operational service for the #water sector.

It helps water managers to plan activities at seasonal horizons & to adapt their strategies in order to mitigate the effects of climate change https://climate.copernicus.eu/operational-service-water-sector

Water is part of the solution to many challenges.

On #WorldWaterWeek, we raise the importance of our #EUBlueDeal proposals to help shape a comprehensive water policy for Europe.

From adopting a human rights approach to water management to introducing water consumption labels and price restructuring, so much can be done.

Don't miss our call to the EU institutions and stakeholders for an EU Blue Deal on 26 October 2023. Stay tuned!
