To deliver on the goal of providing universal access to clean water and improved sanitation, to better balance the water needs of economies and societies with those of ecosystems, to clean up our waterways, restore our river basins and to adapt to the growing impacts of climate change we need to build leadership capacity across the water sector, globally. To do so we need to encourage and cultivate emerging water leaders across all levels of all organisations to connect, collaborate and drive change more rapidly than ever before. We need to develop team leaders to motivate and enable more effectively, we need to cultivate authenticity and ethics, we need champions for new ideas-technologies-practices, and we need to develop cross-boundary to transform the way we think about and act to manage water.

The Pathway Program Level 1 course will run over 10 consecutive weeks online. Each week will cover a range of topics that correspond to common challenges faced by emerging water leaders globally. Activities will include key concept videos and readings, interview videos with experienced water leaders, discussion and reflection activities and individual quizzes to test knowledge.
