Description: Several youth organizations and many young people took part in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in June 1992. They united to ensure that the UNCED process addressed issues that were important to them, such as poverty and overconsumption. Most important, these young people wanted to have a voice in decisions that would affect their future. This document looks at Canadian youth perspectives on sustainable development. Topics covered are: youth issues and initiatives in Canada; suggestions for other youths in Canada; and, youth goals for Canada at the special session and beyond.
