The document discusses the environment, sustainability, and challenges related to ensuring the availability of natural resources for future generations. It notes that least developed countries are more dependent on agriculture and natural resources, and if these resources run out it could have a devastating impact as 1.7 billion people already live in water-stressed countries. The document also discusses issues like deforestation reducing fuel availability and preventing girls' education. It describes the youth organization YouthCan which uses technology to educate and empower youth about environmental issues. Finally, it states that achieving sustainability goals will require giving poor communities more decision-making power, integrating sustainability into all policies, and strengthening protections of natural resources.
