📢 YOUTH VOICES. MEANINGFUL ACTION. HEALTHIER FUTURES.

Our Chairperson attended the 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, held under the powerful theme of empowering young people to shape the future of adolescent health in Mauritius.

Organised jointly by the 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 and the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 (𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔), this consultation brings together young people and key stakeholders to ensure that youth perspectives are not merely heard, but meaningfully reflected in policies and services that impact their lives.

The workshop provided a vital platform to identify gaps and formulate recommendations for the review of the 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 2024–2029, with a strong focus on mental health, sexual and reproductive health, substance use, and access to inclusive, confidential and youth-friendly healthcare.

As young people, we must be more than beneficiaries of policies; we must be active contributors to shaping them.

The 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 remains committed to advocating for youth participation, amplifying young voices and championing initiatives that promote the health, dignity and well-being of every young person.

🌱 Clean-Up at Île aux Bernaches 🌊

Today, our team stepped up at Île aux Bernaches, working across the small forest and the beach to remove as much waste as we could. We managed to collect a significant amount of trash, but there is still so much more to be done.

Plastic remains one of the biggest pollutants threatening our environment, and keeping our surroundings clean shouldn’t be something we do only on special occasions. Wherever we go, we have a responsibility to leave the place better than we found it.

Today, we were proud to partner with Greenpeace Africa, RYC Rempart, and African Leadership University for a youth-led environmental initiative.

We don’t need to wait for someone else to make a difference. We can step up, get our hands dirty, and lead by example. 🌍💚

𝐃𝐀𝐘 1 | 𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐔𝐒 2026 🌍✊🏽

We came together not just to talk about the climate crisis, but to shape the solutions, strengthen our demands, and make youth voices impossible to ignore.

Day 1 of LCOY Mauritius 2026 opened with the presence of the Honourable Junior Minister and Excellencies, setting the stage for a conference driven by one powerful belief: young people must not simply inherit the future, we must have a voice in shaping it.

From Youth Activism and the UNFCCC & COP process to intensive working-group discussions on Nature-Based Solutions, Climate Change, Loss & Damage, Climate Finance and Private-Sector Engagement, delegates moved from dialogue to action.

Because climate justice cannot remain a conversation in conference rooms.
