HCA-II joins UN in celebrating youth day

On the occasion of International Youth Day, Healthy Cities for Adolescents (HCA-II) programme and our partners join the United Nations and its partners in celebrating young people all over the world on this special day.

1.2 billion adolescents worldwide call for their voices to be heard and needs recognised in urban policy & practice. Young people’s participation in decision-making is key to ensure their health & wellbeing needs are prioritised in urban development.

Watch the video to listen to adolescent voices from our city projects.
