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?

New York
We commend and welcome this timely initiative of Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and are pleased to highlight some key aspects of the issues from the human settlements perspective.

Humanity stands at a turning point in history. The year 2007 will see, for the first time, the majority of human beings living in cities. And by 2030, three-quarters of the world’s population will be living in urban areas.

Address to the Group of 77 in Geneva By Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director & Director-General United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) Geneva – 18 January 2007

Geneva
It is a great honour for me to appear before you today, in my capacity as the Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), to address the first meeting, in 2007, of the Group of 77 in Geneva. As some of you might recall I have had the pleasure of appearing before your meetings at the time I served as the UNCTAD Director for the Office of the Least Developed, Land-locked and Island Developing States. I was also serving at the time as the Executive Secretary of the Third UN Conference for the Least Developed Countries. I have always been gratified by the strong support, which the Group of 77 has always extended to the weaker among them. So I am pleased to be back. And I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you everything of the best for 2007
