CSD-17 Preparatory Meeting Feb 23-27 and Policy Session May 4-15.
The Division For Sustainment Development invited IYC to participate in the CSD-17 Conference held at the United Nations in February 23-27 and May 4-15. The CSD-17 Conference will provide us the opportunity to participate in a policy session with member-state delegates and NGOs. The CSD-17 reporting policy process focuses on policy options and possible actions to overcome the constraints and obstacles and meet the challenges identified by CSD-16 with regard to the thematic cluster, agriculture, rural development, land, drought, desertification and Africa. Please visit CSD-17 website at: http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/mgroups/participation.html

We absolutely need representatives for this event. This is a great opportunity for IYC to present our Global Climate Change Case Analysis. If you are interested please email: asha.castleberry@yahoo.com. This week, Asha Castleberry will be representing IYC at the CSD-17 Preparatory Meeting.

IYC Mission

The International Youth Council (IYC) is a non-profit, non-governmental 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.

Our mission is to bring together and support young leaders from around the world in pursuit of partnership, progress, and the Millennium Development Goals. We seek to empower the next generation of leaders by providing them with the training, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. We also advocate for an official body representative of the youth within the United Nations power structure.

We hope to inspire the youth of the world to act and give them the tools to make a difference.
