Calling all SIDS youth -Take action for your future!

The SIDS Youth Survey on Digital Futures is a new UNDP survey of young people (aged 18-35 years old) in SIDS around the world. The survey aims to explore the hopes, aspirations, and concerns of young people relating to digital and digital technologies. The survey is running on WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger in the form of an interactive chatbot, and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

The survey can be completed at either of the following links by initializing the chat here:

What is youth-washing and how to avoid it?

Young people today are reinforcing that their involvement in environmental governance and action should not simply constitute social media retweets, youth-dedicated side events or ornaments on adult panel discussions to ‘tick a box.’

We are the generation that needs to be empowered with a seat at the decision-making table and the tools and processes to meaningfully add value at that table.

Aggregating insights from more than 600 young leaders across 67 countries, this playbook provides insights for adults allies and decision-makers into the key trends of the youth environmental movement so that they may effectively make space for them, not as a symbolic gesture, but as active participants in today’s policy decisions, that will dictate our shared future.

UNEP will be hosting an interactive dialogue to unpack these key findings early next year, so stay tuned for more information!

Bula vinaka everyone
My name is Rosyln Delaivoni and I am from Fiji. I am currently interning for Pacific ocean litter youth project (POLYP). The reason I have joined the group is because I want to learn more about how we are able to fight and manage marine pollution especially plastic pollution.
My preferred means of social media is messenger and LinkedIn.

Hope to get to know everyone soon.

Vinaka.
