Part 1: Introduction : UNESCO-IHP Malaysia - Educating young leaders through water watch programme

Abstract

This chapter introduces the roles of UNESCO-IHP Malaysia in educating, training, and disseminating knowledge on related environmental issues, particularly sustainable water resource management practices, to Malaysian target groups, emphasising the Water Watch Programme for Young Leaders (WWP4YL). It begins by introducing readers to a brief history of UNESCO-IHP Malaysia, followed by identifying partners who help to co-organise and manage various water education programmes and activities involving WWP4YL. The chapter will also introduce readers to a summary of another twelve WWP4YL modules that we have developed for this second series to add to the nine modules that appeared in the first series.
