Speech on the UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development in Geneva, 2023
I’m happy to share that I received a scholarship from The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) to participate in the Regional Forum on Sustainable Development in Geneva as a representative of the youth from Eurasian region in March 2023. I pronounced the speech on the Closing Plenary session where I touched on the issues raised by more than 100 young people during our Youth Pre-Meeting, including:
- stigma and discrimination around menstruation and the sanitary health;
- politicization of the climate change in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia;
- rural areas inclusion to sustainable infrastructure investments;
- the Paris 1.5 degree target and a sustainable and renewable energy transition;
- young scientists support;
- the practice of unpaid internships;
- persecution against peaceful youth activists, including human rights advocates and environmental defenders.
My speech is available here.
