Young people around the world are always showing us what it means to be a change-maker and demand a more equal world.
From leading climate action movements to be at the forefront of social justice movements and playing key roles in COVID-19 response and recovery.
The recent Generation Equality Forum, for example, was a powerful example of young people speaking up loud and clear about the issues that matter to them and sharing how they are supporting the gender equality agenda.
On International Youth Day, August 12th, we will honor young people all over the world who are speaking out for climate justice and food security.
Globally, women have a 27 percent higher risk than men of facing severe food insecurity and therefore require heightened attention and resources.
Now is the time to address the interlinking challenges of gender inequality, poverty reduction, social inclusion, health care, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation.
Youth have been and will continue to be a part of the conversations and actions to restore the planet and integrating biodiversity in the transformation of food systems, and therefore will also remain closely engaged in the implementation work of the Action Coalitions that were launched during the Generation Equality Forum.
