Themes
Current activities are mainly under the following themes: agriculture, biodiversity, climate change, food security, energy, hunger, forest, oceans, water and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Under each theme there are various initiatives and activities with different objectives including enhancing awareness, providing access to information and promoting participation and local action of children and young people to a range of environmental, social and sustainable development issues.
A number of resources, guidelines, challenge badges, activity packs, Web applications, competitions and educational materials (both formal and non-formal) are being developed to support efforts, mobilize communities, support youth action and allow young people to have a larger voice and an increased participation in national, regional and intergovernmental decision-making processes. Finally, efforts are underway to establish mechanisms to facilitate youth involvement and participation in United Nations efforts and initiatives, including the MDGs (www.un.org/millenniumgoals), through volunteer and interim programmes.
YUNGA is facilitating a youth voice in international arenas, developing youth partnerships, local activities and much, much more!
