Bangladesh Youth Leaders Participate in WUF13 Asia-Pacific Consultations!
Young leaders from SERAC-Bangladesh and Urban Youth Councils, including Executive Director S M Shaikat, participated in the WUF13 Children and Youth Regional Consultations: Asia-Pacific today. The consultation provided a platform for youth to share ideas on making cities safe, inclusive, livable, and prosperous.
Council members presented their initiatives, experiences, and key priorities, including pathways to liveability, planning for prosperity, youth as evidence builders, generational affordability, and safe spaces for children and youth. Their contributions highlighted the important role of youth in shaping sustainable and inclusive urban policies.
The insights from this session will contribute to the DeclarAction and the Baku Call to Action, ensuring that young voices are integrated into global urban planning and decision-making. Forums like WUF13 continue to empower youth to shape cities that meet the needs of both current and future generations.
