Shane Lischin intervened on behalf of five youth-led civil society organisations at the UN High-Level Meeting on Harmony with Nature and Living Well, urging Member States to create a pathway for effective youth participation.
The Harmony with Nature programme explores Earth-centred approaches to law and governance. Speaking for five youth-led organisations, the Foundation's representative urged member states to create a standing pathway for youth participation in the initiative.
Advocacy of this kind sits at the centre of the Foundation's mandate: bringing the lived experience of children and young people into the rooms where decisions about them are made. Statements are delivered by young representatives themselves, most of them under twenty-five.
The full texts of related statements, submissions and reports are available in the documents library on the Publications page, where they can be filtered by category and year.
This article is part of the Foundation’s public record of its engagements and programmes.
