Adopt an idea

Towards the UN 2023 Water Conference, 200 student-teams from over 62 nationalities are developing an implementable and innovative idea that takes on a global water challenge. Ideas are developed inspired by youth from a local community, focused on one or more Sustainable Development Goals.

Every idea can have the potential to become the next Gamechanger that makes our climate more resilient in the future. That is why the UN2023 Gamechanger Challenge is looking for private sector organizations, knowledge institutions, or NGOs to adopt an idea. Check out the available ideas below!
