The Youth and United Nations Global Alliance (YUNGA) was formed in 2009. It is a partnership between United Nations agencies and civil society organizations that work with children and young people. YUNGA Japan is an initiative brought by the Awaji Youth Federation (AYF)
The world has become more intertwined and borderless, and what happens here will affect other parts of the world today and in the future. The issues we face, such as environmental issues, climate change and loss of biodiversity cannot be solved by one single person. To facilitate action, YUNGA Japan aims to make positive impacts in communities. We want to do this by connecting and inspiring Japanese youths to address the current issues faced by this generation.
