| Message from Anna Tibaijuka, UN Under-Secretary General & Executive Director, UN-HABITAT on The International Youth Day |
|
|
|
Nairobi, Kenya
This International Youth Day, I would like to express my support for the chosen theme of “Climate Change and Youth”. Youth are not just leaders of tomorrow, but also of today. And climate change is one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced, requiring us all to work together to overcome the impending crisis. What better time, then, to strengthen our commitment to empowering youth as agents of change, partners in solving our shared global challenges?

UN Headquarters, Nairobi, Kenya
I know that many of you have come here at considerable personal risk to join us here today. I want to thank you for your courage and sacrifice. I want you to know that you honour us by gracing the United Nations headquarters in Africa with your presence, for as you know, after New York, Geneva and Vienna, we are the only UN headquarters in the developing world.

| Eve Woman of the Year Award |
|
|
|
Nairobi, Kenya
It gives me great pleasure to be here on the eve of International Women's Day. This is the day that women all over the world celebrate their achievements. And what could be more appropriate than to gather here in Nairobi to honour 10 Kenyan women award winners, and 30 nominees, who are a testament to women's courage and ability.
