The Commonwealth Year of Youth: Year in Review [Video]

The 13th CYF Declaration was presented to the Commonwealth Secretary-General by the new CYC executive and Nahjae Nunes, Co-Chair of the Commonwealth Youth Taskforce for CHOGM2024. The document articulates the following recommendations across pillars to build equitable, sustainable, and prosperous societies for all:

• Resilient democracies: Develop youth-led digital democracy platforms to promote real-time civic engagement and integrate marginalised voices
• Resilient economies: Bridge the digital divide and skills gap by providing affordable digital access for all youth
• Resilient environments: Explore the establishment of a Commonwealth Youth Climate Innovation Fund that empowers young innovators to lead solutions on combating climate change
• Resilient societies and people: Make mental health services accessible to all young people by 2030
With this statement, young people seek to make their mark on future Commonwealth policies and offer a hopeful vision.
