UNECE invites you to join the Youth Visual Call on the theme “What Does a Green Future Look Like to You?”<\/p>\n
Young people are emerging as crucial champions for the achievement of the sustainable development agenda of countries in the UNECE region. The ideas and perspectives of new generations, who are acutely aware of the environmental challenges that the world faces, can help shape the policies and practices that will drive the green transformation in the years to come.<\/p>\n
Engaging young people in the intergovernmental process can help to build momentum and ensure that the green transition is a collective effort that involves everyone. This March, UNECE launched a\u00a0Youth Visual Call<\/a>, inviting young people to submit their artistic interpretation of a \u201cgreen future\u201d.<\/p>\n The initiative is part of UNECE’s continuing efforts to empower young people and give them a platform to express their views on issues that matter, in support of the\u00a0UN Youth Strategy<\/a>\u00a0launched in 2018. Building up on the\u00a0youth dialogue<\/a>\u00a0organized last year, UNECE is enhancing opportunities for young leaders from the region to participate in discussions and decision-making processes, including through\u00a0UNECE Stakeholder Engagement Platform Circular STEP<\/a>, which is open to public of all ages.<\/p>\n The Visual Call is part of the build-up to UNECE’s\u00a0Seventieth Commission Session<\/a>. As the highest decision-making body of UNECE, the Commission will take stock of the progress made on the promotion of a circular economy and the sustainable use of natural resources and chart a way forward towards a digital and green transformation in the region.<\/p>\n UNECE invites young people to submit artwork, photographs and other visuals to ece-trade4circularity@un.org<\/a>\u00a0by 31 March<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The most inspiring visuals will be displayed during the\u00a0virtual side events<\/a>\u00a0(3-5 April 2023) of the Commission session and on social media.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additional links:<\/strong><\/p>\n UNECE invites you to join the Youth Visual Call on the theme “What Does a Green Future Look Like to You?” Young people are emerging as crucial champions for the achievement of the sustainable development agenda of countries in the UNECE region.
