Rio de Janeiro
My name is Kristoffer Sundøy, and I have been elected by UN-HABITAT’s Youth Advisory Board to address you today on behalf of the youth delegates present at this Forum. We are youth who live in cities. We are full of ideas, creativity, and energy. Yet even as we represent well over half the world’s total population, we are still not full partners in the institutions, processes and decisions that affect our lives. We live in cities in great numbers, yet our voices are rarely given equitable space or accorded the same respect and consideration as those of adults.
