KazNU takes part in UNESCO forum in Paris

The UNESCO Headquarters in Paris is hosting the XIII UNESCO Youth Forum, where Kazakhstan and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University are represented by Gulzhanat Tanabekova, Senior Lecturer, PhD of the UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Development.

The aim of the UNESCO Youth Forum is to focus on the social impacts of climate change and the need to address the issues of environmental degradation, global warming, identified in the agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

During the event, organized by the Social and Human Sciences Sector, young people participate in discussions and debates and share their recommendations and solutions with Member States during unesco's General Conference.

In recent years, it has become clear to young people: climate change jeopardizes their future. Alongside environmental damage, the social impacts of climate change must be at the center of the debate if we are to achieve equitable climate change. However, they often lack the resources and space to translate their ideas into effective action and realize their full potential. The Forum gives young change-makers the opportunity to be heard by policymakers.

Youth from countries such as Australia, Ireland, Morocco, Korea, France, Morocco, Morocco, Korea, France, Malaysia and others have participated in the international forum.
