The Transformative Water Pact (TWP) has been developed in response to the continued exploitation of nature, neglect of human rights, and extreme power imbalances that characterize contemporary water governance around the world. It details an alternative vision of water governance based on the principles of environmental justice, equality and care. Umbela participated in the development of the compact along with more than 40 environmental justice advocates, particularly from the Global South. The AWP was launched at the United Nations Water Conference in New York.
