Call to Action for Sustainable Urbanisation
Summary
Our transformative impacts will be: We aim to empower Commonwealth Youth to support, contribute to, and advocate for sustainable urbanisation in the Commonwealth and to look at ways in which cities and human settlements can better reflect the needs of youth. Immediate impact is contributing to local plan in Belize. Build the capacity of youth, to advocate for sustainable urbanisation, shape the future of, and re-design their environment by engaging with 100 000 young people across the Commonwealth. Communicate the importance of youth-friendly and youth-aware sustainable urbanisation by actively involving 500 decision-makers across the Commonwealth. Integrate a diverse youth voice into Commonwealth policy and programmes and advocate for strengthened youth leadership and integration into decision making to support sustainable urbanisation. Generate a pipeline and entrepreneurial environment for project and provide an opportunity for young people from across different disciplines/constituencies relating to sustainable urbanisation to come together. Immediate expected results will be: Help local governments to implement to implement development plans with young people. For example, we will work with Belize City Council in 2022. We will develop a set of youth-friendly principles for sustainable urbanisation and inclusive urban development. By working with Partners we will test the applicability of youth-friendly toolkits and programmes.
