Youth Caucus

The world today is home to the largest generation of young people in its history: there are now over 1.8 billion youth between the ages of 10 to 24. Enhancing the role young people play and providing opportunities for their active engagement in protecting health and the environment and promoting economic and social development will be essential for a sustainable, democratic future. Young people promote change in ways of working, innovation, and institutional reforms, including better governance, combating corruption, and building a healthier social and physical environment.

To join the Youth Caucus, your organization must be an IPEN Participating Organization (PO). You can find more information on joining IPEN here. Any youth (under 35 years old) within an IPEN PO may apply to join the youth caucus by reaching out to their IPEN Regional Coordinator.
