Welcome to the CSD Major Group for Children and Youth
The Major Group for Childrena and Youth is an international network of over 1000 youth leaders from hundreds of organizations, many of which are themselves national networks, that bring together young people with a desire to build a more sustainable world. The focus of the caucus is two-fold. First, to facilitate youth input into the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), the primary international forum concerned with issues of Sustainability, and secondly to foster information sharing and communication between a diverse network of youth organizations who share a common interest in sustainability.
This site is still in development and new information is being added all the time. Be sure to check back soon, and please do contact the coordinators if you have any questions or need information you can't find here on this site.
