NABU’s Official Statement to “Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”

We have participated in an electronic discussion on Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in March 2016, coordinated and organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Following is our official statement:

“In order to achieve a sustainable future for all, we must recognize that today’s more than 50% of world population is young people under the age of 35 years old and many of them do not have a real future due to the lack of education, employment and upward social mobility.  Until we address this core issue, we cannot build a sustainable future for all.  The current poverty, global migration, terrorism and wars will only exacerbate any efforts to focus on sustainable development. ”
