At 14:00, on Friday 14 May 2021, the Y7 delegates announced their 2021 Youth Recommendations for world leaders.
The youth recommendations have focussed on “Making Waves for Future Generations” - calling on world leaders to better involve young people in decision making, and to actively consider the long-term implications of decisions made today on the young people of tomorrow.
They include recommendations for G7 leaders to protect and support future generations by:
- Strengthening global early warning systems, and co-designing risk reduction programs with climate-vulnerable regions and marginalised communities by 2022;
- Jointly developing indicators of economic performance that supplement GDP with integrated well-being, sustainability, and inclusivity outcomes;
- Achieving universal connectivity by 2025 on their territories and by 2030 worldwide, and by embedding digital literacy in all curriculum areas for all learners;
- Tackling mental health stigma by changing educational curricula, launching targeted campaigns and training young people so that they can adequately support their peers during mental health crises.
