AHEAD OF YOUTH DAY, UN CHIEF HEARS CONCERNS FROM YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS
THE WORLDNew York, Aug 5 2013 11:00AMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon
today held an interactive dialogue with young people across the world
and launched an online United Nations Platform for Youth in
conjunction with his Special Envoy on this issue.

"Your generation is the largest the world has ever known," Mr. Ban
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7000">told young
people taking part in the Global Interactive Dialogue on UN Youth
Initiatives. "The tools at your disposal for communicating and acting
are unprecedented. But so are the challenges – from growing
inequalities and shrinking opportunities, to the threats of climate
change and environmental degradation."

Mr. Ban's Five-Year Action Plan has as one of its priorities working
for and with young people. As part of this commitment, Mr. Ban
appointed his first ever Envoy on Youth, Ahmad Alhendawi, earlier this
year.

"Mr. Ahmad Alhendawi is working with different UN entities,
governments, civil society, academia and the media to empower youth
within and outside the UN system," Mr. Ban said, adding that Mr.
Alhendawi's website, launched today, will also serve as an Online
Platform for Youth, through which young people can voice their
concerns to the UN.

"I am fully committed to working with youth and exploring how you can
contribute more to creating a sustainable, equitable future of
opportunity and dignity for all," Mr. Ban said.

He added that Mr. Alhendawi is working with the UN Inter-Agency
Network on Youth Development to bring all parts of the UN together
under an action plan for youth.

The plan, which is partly based on the My World survey carried out
among thousands of youth from around the world earlier this year,
focuses on five thematic areas: employment and entrepreneurship;
political inclusion; civic engagement and protection of rights;
education, including comprehensive sexual education; and health.

Other initiatives include UN youth volunteer programmes and forums
where youth can engage with the UN at the national, regional and
global levels.

The interactive dialogue also features the Executive Director of the
UN Population Fund (UNFPA), Babatunde Osotimehin; the Acting Head of
the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN
Women), Lakshmi Puri; the Special Representative of the International
Labour Organization (ILO) on Youth and Social Inclusion, Charles Dan;
and the Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Director for Arab
States of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), Sima Bahous.Aug 5 2013
