The research will challenge the global water security issues confined within state-sovereignty, military security approach from the perspectives of global citizens in particular cohorts of Gen Z X and Y in the context of interlinked emerging global challenges, such as international security, food security, energy security and environment security. The global environment dimensions of water security are not integrated, and sovereignty is no longer capable of providing the primary foundation for freshwater law (Grey & Garrick 2013:3, Magsig, 2017: 388) as a result almost 4 billion people are projected to live in severely water-stressed basins by 2050 according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)'s baseline environmental outlook (OECD, 2012 in (Garrick and Hall, 2014: 611). Eighty percent of the global population lives in regions experiencing high threats to water security (Vorosmarty CJ et al. 2010 in Garrik and Hall, 2014:611) 'Both domestic and international water laws and policies are inadequate to meet the challenges posed by this global phenomenon or to adapt to the additional consequences that appear to be inevitable' (Eckstein, 2009:412). For immediate reformulation of international law requires the following framework implications:-Non-state invasive approach to water and environment-Financiers' determination to invest trillions in water.-A global public debate to hasten the process. These above approaches require a great deal of convincing, including an examination of the evolving nature of collective security and the [revised]role of international water law (Magsig 2011: 343; Magsig 2015: 139). Therefore, there is an urgent need of convincing wider public participation(Gen Z, X and Y) in water security debates which in this 21st century 'has become urgent today in regard to the extent to which the policy makers (The UN security council, G8, NATO) and financiers(WB, IMF and WTO) are ignoring the urgent call from the transdisciplinary scholarships when the water security crises linked to [international peace] and climate change'(Cullet et al.2021:13). The ability to shift debates in the right direction on challenging issues i.e., climate change is evidently prevalent in Greta Thunberg's environmental protest.
