Why Sustainable Development?
“Environmental, Economic and Social well-being for today and
tomorrow”
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. We need to turn from the old economy built on fossil fuels to
a new, renewable-based green economy with economic equity and social justice
for all.
Why Youth for Beyond 2015 Development Agenda?
The world is looking at bold and concrete decisions that will
enable policies, funding and political will for sustainable development. None
of this, however, will be possible without the crucial contribution of civil
society and, in particular, youth, with half the world’s population under 25,
young people are not only the most affected by negative consequences of
unsustainable development, but they also have the greatest capacity and energy
to deal with those challenges and work on practical solutions.
Youth Beyond 2015 is a collective of young people
coming from different backgrounds and different part of the country to advocate
for a youth centered post 2015 development agenda.
