Our 5-Year Plan for the Movement

Strategically Supporting and Growing the Global Waterkeeper Movement

We have a plan to protect our right to clean water in communities around the world.


To protect our right to clean water in communities around the world, we need a Waterkeeper Movement — a global alliance of Waterkeeper groups and advocates connecting people and communities to their waterways in the fight for clean, healthy, and abundant water.

In late 2020, Waterkeeper Alliance engaged over 260 diverse constituents in a robust process to develop, and own, a 5-year Strategic Plan. Informed by science, the plan brings to life an imaginative new vision and mission through four bold strategic priorities, actionable strategies, and measurable 10-year results.

The next five years will be vitally important in our fight for everyone’s right to clean water.

Together, our united Waterkeeper Movement will stand up for water for all people in ways we never thought possible.
