3. 02 _PIPES My dear youth parliamentarians for water Another year has already drawn to an end. I wish you all had fulfilling days this year and have kept most of your New Year’s resolutions. I have lived most of my life as a water expert, yet still, the APYPW was another excitement and a great lesson to me. I truly wish that your experience at the 3rd Asia-Pacific Youth Parliament for Water also was a meaningful event. Your passion, enthusiasm, determination and solidarity were well witnessed through your participation during the event. I truly appreciate all your contributions and admiration toward the 3rd APYPW. Furthermore, I would like to congratulate the publication of the 2nd volume of PIPES. This will be your second step toward water, followed by your prior step of participation to the event. All of your participation will be well reflected in the PIPES. This will awaken your remembrances and simultaneously broaden your mutual understandings. Water is, and must be the most significant field for youth to study and to have professions in. Your contribution to the sustainable environment is desperate and Korea Water Forum will be your best partner in doing so. The 7th World Water Forum is just around the corner. With all the active and hard work in the preparatory process, the Forum will cruise smoothly. Yet, continuous interests and support from youth will accelerate the implementation of the solutions for the water challenges. I will conclude my remarks by extending sincere gratitude to all the readers of the PIPES. Thank you. Deuk-koo Koh, Ph.D Secretary General, Korea Water Forum Congratulatory Address

7. 3rd Asia Pacific Youth Parliament for Water 9-12 July 2014 Kyungpook National University Sangju Campus, National Assembly, Republic of Korea 06 _PIPES Declaration Water is a vital resource for human health, prosperity and security. Nature has provided us with an abundant source of water to thrive upon, but not to WASTE. Home to more than half of the world’s population, Asia and the Pacific essentially represent diverse cultures, geographies, climates, landscapes and hydrology. However, rapid economic growth and unsustainable water management practices have increased the water stress in the region. The Asia-Pacific Youth Parliament for Water (APYPW) believes that the youth can be the driver for change in the on-going water crisis in the region. We are aware that the water issues experienced in each country are bigger than what we can do as young people. But we assert our right and our responsibility in assisting each of our governments and all non-government organizations in their efforts to solve these problems After thorough brainstorming and discussion sessions, the 3rd Asia-Pacific Youth Parliament hereby commits to : 1. Initiate online petitions to demand more concern and responsibility regarding the sustainable use of water resources, from the corporate irms and the governments in their operations. 2. Suggest academic institutions to integrate in their curriculum (e.g. thesis, feasibility studies) possible solutions to water-related issues 3. Increase awareness of citizens about the existing water problems in our individual nations and the region as a whole through creating and posting informative materials, blogs and articles on the social media and new media. 4. Improve knowledge sharing by translating the declaration and the commission statements to the national languages of the representative countries.

8. 3rd Asia Pacific Youth Parliament for Water_ 07 5. Initiate in our individual households and youth organizations proper waste segregation, waste reduction and some measures of eficient use of water such as rainwater harvesting, recycling of domestic water and choosing to buy water eficient machines 6. Bridge the gap between the experts and the people in the grassroots to ensure effective use of water in all levels of communities and in all kinds of industries 7. Recommend to governments to be more inclusive towards the youth sector in the whole process of identifying water issues and in formulating solutions to solve them so that the young generation will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to become future water leaders in the society. 8. Utilize APYPW to reinforce interactions between different youth organizations and various networks. Parliamentarians will provide their services to enlighten the youth’s role in solving water related issues and the APYPW. The 3rd Asia Pacific Youth Parliament for Water firmly endorses the idea of incorporating sustainability in all the water - related developments and believes that we should not jeopardize the quality of life of the future generations as we try to achieve prosperity. The parliament trusts in the ability of the youth to achieve all these goals and hopes that the commitments made by the parliamentarians will be mate rialized and contribute in the improvement of the on - going water crisis situation in the Asia Paciic region. This declaration was adopted at the plenary session of the 3rd Asia Pacific Youth Parliament for Water (APYPW) held from 9th to 12th of July 2014 in Kyungpook National University Sangju Campus and the National Assembly Memorial Hall in Republic of Korea.
