The United Nations Department of Global Communications (DGC) Civil Society Unit in collaboration with the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation invites you to an event in celebration of International Youth Day, which will bring together young people to discuss how we can promote sustainable communities through deeper youth engagement and leadership. With rapid urbanization and a historically large youth population, advancing inclusive sustainable development is a top priority for communities worldwide. Global issues like poverty, climate change, and inequality especially affect youth adversely in both urban and rural areas. These challenges necessitate the participation of civil society and young people in devising solutions and taking action to build sustainable, inclusive, and safe communities for all.
