Young Leaders for Sustainable Cities World Urban Café
To inform the debate surrounding youth leadership and development specifically as it relates to UN Habitat's workplan for the next 2 years.

At UN-Habitat’s World Urban Forum for Youth (WUFY) in June 2006, 500 youth leaders posed the following recommendations to decision-makers:
• Mainstream youth in UN-Habitat programs
• Enable youth led development for sustainable cities
• Establish a youth fund or similar mechanisms to support youth led initiatives

Youth from both developed and developing countries all agree that these are the actions required to manage the challenges of the world’s now predominantly urban population. We think they deserve to be pursued. Environmental Youth Alliance (EYA), as the organizing body for the WUFY, is spearheading an effort to follow-up on the recommendations made by youth leaders.

Check Out This Excellent Quote On Empowering Youth: (and find more like it in the Comments Section for the discussion questions below)

One Canadian organization with a global membership of over 100,000 agrees: “Young people have too often been seen as a burden rather than an asset, a group to be taught but not to teach, and to receive but not to give. Yet this is a view we simply can’t afford to have. Young people are in fact, the world’s greatest untapped resource.” Jennifer Corriero, Co-founder, Executive Director, TakingItGlobal (Canada)
