A UN-Habitat’s Youth and Livelihood Unit initiative, World Urban Youth Councils Network(WUYCN) was launched at the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum. WUYCN will work closely with city youth councils worldwide to empower youth in important city governance processes and to ensure youth have a voice in important decisions that affect them the most in their cities. WUYCN is establishing a global network of city youth councils to create a strong synergy of youth councils, where youth around the world can learn from each other, build best practices and ultimately collaborate on a variety of topics including but not limited to housing, municipal services for youth, climate change, quick response to the humanitarian crisis, education, employment, and entrepreneurship.
