Celebrate International Youth Day! “Empowering Indigenous and local community youth for a sustainable world”

RECOFTC, the Rights and Resources Initiative, the Asia Indigenous Youth Platform, the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact, and partners are celebrating International Youth Day online. Youth from Indigenous and local communities across Asia-Pacific will share their unique perspectives, insights, and experiences on activism, land rights, and sustainable land management. 

Youth is the driving force behind environmental conservation, serving as land and environment defenders and advocating for their rights over their territories. Their active participation and empowerment are important in achieving an inclusive, just, and sustainable society

The celebration will highlight the importance of intergenerational knowledge passed down from elders to youth, enabling Indigenous Peoples and local communities to live sustainably and harmoniously with nature. 

Register and join us this August 11th!
