Youth forum on "Creating a Sustainable Future: Empowering Youth with Better Job Opportunities"

New York
04 May, 2012

This problem poses significant challenges not simply to the youth themselves but also to the capacity of companies and countries to innovate and develop competitive advantages which are critical for economic recovery.

The programme will consist of an opening plenary, to be followed by two dialogue classroom sessions on ¿Training and education to facilitate access to job market¿ and ¿Promoting youth employment-Creating jobs for a more sustainable future¿. Youth representatives around the world will participate in this event.
Recommendations coming out from the ECOSOC youth forum will be shared with Member States at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), to take place in Brazil, in June 2012, and also during the ECOSOC high-level session in July 2012.
