About the U.N. Water Challenge Badge

The Youth and United Nations Global Alliance was developed by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations in collaboration with other UN organizations with the mission to educate, motivate and empower young people to alter their behavior and become active agents of change in their local communities. The YUNGA challenge badges are action-oriented, and the activities provide information and resources to empower kids to make the world more sustainable and equitable.
