Statement On International Youth Day 2021 | Creating Spaces And Opportunities For Global Food Systems Through Youth-led Innovation

International Youth Day takes place annually on the 12th of August. This year’s theme is focused on “Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health”. Though, the success of this effort on a global scale can only be achieved through the participation of youth. There are always discussions about the need for inclusive support mechanisms that will help ensure that youth will keep amplifying the need to collectively protect life on earth. Through initiatives like this, The Youth Café is at the forefront of guiding youth to become more involved with creating a society that advocates for food sustainability, and human as well as planetary health.

Speech By UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka | International Youth Day, 2020 | Youth Engagement For Global Action

Today, as we celebrate International Youth Day, UN Women recognizes the immense value of young people like Doreen who are at the forefront of global action for change, both in responding to the pandemic and in working to address the systemic inequalities it has unearthed. Young people bring fresh legs to the race, fresh eyes to see things from new perspectives, new energy for the long road ahead and sure-footed adaptability to change, despite themselves facing complex challenges and vulnerabilities brought on by the pandemic.
