Together, tiny drops of knowledge can make a wave of impact!

Our mission

Wavemakers United inspires youth worldwide to work in a positive way on finding solutions to realize the climate goals. We use water, education and sport as a connection.

We do this by giving the community for youth, educational institutions, government and business an international stage and we work from local to global to local.

Wavemakers United has a unique and sustainable approach of connecting existing innovations and sollutions around the world.

Our method

“We treat sustainability as top sport.”

Wavemakers United treats sustainability as topsport. We treat the Climate Goals of Paris 2030 as the Olympic games: just like the athletes, we set realistic deadlines and goals to make this goal of achievement by 2030.

Top sport teaches us that when rewards are given and medals can be won, people are more willing to get into action. That’s why we inspire youth worldwide to work in a positive and sportive way on the solutions to realise the climate goals. We do this together with youth, young professionals and athletes all around the world.

Jaime de Bourbon de Parme – climate envoy Kingdom of The Netherlands

“Human kind can not live without healthy oceans. They are the source of life and an important storage system of carbon. Taking care of the oceans means taking care of ourselves. Wavemakers United makes young people enthusiastic about water and inspire them to take positive action.”

Marcel Beukeboom – Permanent Representative to the UN Food and Agriculture organisations in Rome

“Wavemakers United just does that: They make waves. And for good reasons because our current way of living is not sustainable. Change is a prerequisite if we want our planet and its inhabitants to be healthy in the long run. The positive energy and international orientation of our young Wavemakers are powerful drivers of the change we need.”

Marcelien Bos de Koning - 'chef de emission NOC*NSF and Mayor of Your North sea’

"We need to reinvent ourselves in order to live respectfully with our planet. We can only do this together. Wavemakers United is a perfect example how to create impact on our water systems, our energy demand, energy supply and more. Greenifying ourselves will give us flourishing seas and a healthy climate. Let the games begin! - Marcelien 'chef de emission NOC*NSF and Mayor of Your North sea’ "
