Agenda 21: Chapter 25
CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
25.1. Youth comprise nearly 30 per cent of the world's
population. The involvement of today's youth in
environment and development decision-making and in the
implementation of programmes is critical to the
long-term success of Agenda 21.
PROGRAMME AREAS
A. Advancing the role of youth and actively involving
them in the protection of the environment and the
promotion of economic and social development
Basis for action
25.2. It is imperative that youth from all parts of the
world participate actively in all relevant levels of
decision-making processes because it affects their lives
today and has implications for their futures. In
addition to their intellectual contribution and their
ability to mobilize support, they bring unique
perspectives that need to be taken into account.
25.3. Numerous actions and recommendations within the
international community have been proposed to ensure
that youth are provided a secure and healthy future,
including an environment of quality, improved standards
of living and access to education and employment. These
issues need to be addressed in development planning.
