NEW YORK: This forum, co-organized with Hungary, UNICEF, and the International Labor Organization, aims to empower young leaders as key players in environmental governance.

His Excellency Dr. Abdullah bin Ali Al Amri, Chairman of the Environment Authority and President of the United Nations General Assembly for its seventh session, emphasized the essential role of the youth in shaping a sustainable future.

The forum is a platform to discuss crucial topics such as emerging green jobs and the skills necessary for success in eco-friendly careers. It aligns with the objectives of the “Green Jobs for Youth” Charter, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific research and policy-making for a greener tomorrow.

Intergenerational dialogue is also on the agenda, focusing on ensuring the right to a clean, sustainable environment. The discussions will assess how youth perspectives can be better integrated into decision-making processes, promoting equity and justice for future generations.

With a commitment to stimulating meaningful engagement, the forum builds on the successes of the World Youth Assembly on the Environment 2024, empowering young leaders to shape policies and influence the future of our planet.
