08-10/09/2017 - UNCCD COP13 Youth Forum (Κίνα)

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Secretariat recognizes the important roles youth play in combating land degradation and promoting sustainable land management (SLM). Empowering young people to protect and restore degraded ecosystems will lead to green innovations that will contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular, reaching SDG15.3 land degradation neutrality.

The UNCCD Secretariat invites all young people and youth organization representatives to apply to speak and participate in the international UNCCD Youth Forum at its 13th Conference of the Parties (COP 13). The theme this year is “Land, youth, and sustainability.”

Objectives of the Forum:
1. Voicing the youth commitment in achieving Land Degradation Neutrality;
2. Building the capacity and opportunities for youth in the work on combating desertification, land degradation, and drought;
3. Sharing youth/youth organizations experience in combating desertification.

Selected speakers and representatives will receive full funding of international travel, accommodation and daily allowance during the forum.
