11. UN Millenium Campaign & Youth The contributions of youth to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are fundamental for success in achieving development. Youth are the future of the UN, and the future of all development.
12. Annual Youth Assembly at the UN The Youth Assembly is an annual gathering of hundreds of young people from around the world who seek practical ways to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, global networking and social entrepreneurship skills as well as meeting with and contributing to civil society formally affiliated with the United Nations. The Youth Assembly is about showing how one person can make a difference by engaging with the challenges of the present and being an educated and active citizen.
13. “Young people are the most important capital in the world’s history to change the future of humanity.”
14. INTERNATIONAL YOUTH COUNCIL The International Youth Council (IYC) is a non-profit, nongovernmental organization founded at the UN Youth Assembly in 2007 dedicated to giving young people across the world both collective voice and a mechanism to support global sustainable development.
15. Our mission is to provide youth with project support, leadership opportunities, and a broad networking base. We advocate for greater youth representation in international policy-making, including official representation within the United Nations. Our belief is that our generation and our interests are not adequately represented. As capable advocates of the future, we wish to ensure that the leaders of today leave a world worthy of our inheritance tomorrow.

39. Youth and Future Generations Day (YuFuGe) celebrates the role of youth in the UNFCCC process, particularly as this is the first time youth have an official constituency within the UNFCCC.
43. Official Youth Delegate Declaration The UN Progamme on Youth declares that, “youth participation in decision making […] leads to better policy formulation, implementation and evaluation.” Moreover, as highlighted in the Synthesis Report (SR) on Article 6 of the Convention, young people are potent agents for change. This has been demonstrated time and time again at past UNFCCC meetings, where young people proved to be constructive partners in the negotiations. As stakeholders, it is important for governments to fully consider the concerns of youth in negotiations that concerns our future.
52. WHAT is PhilYCM? Philippine Youth Climate Movement is an environmental youth network that unites and mobilizes Filipino youth towards environmental activism and responsiveness. Our goal is to mobilize youth all over the Philippines to take action on Climate Change.
