Youth for the Global Goals
2016

The outcome of the International Conference made clear
THE WAY FORWARD
in 2016-2022 …
● We go for the Global Goals with the focus on 'with no one left behind', because we cannot achieve a better, sustainable world if half the world does not count and therefore cannot participate.
● We move forward, not focussed on the 169 sub goals, but by undertaking good examples of change for achievement of the Goals. By daily action, from the grassroots, from the power of youngsters and our communities.
● Knowing that nothing is impossible, everything is possible if We Grow Together!
