Today, 54 per cent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66 per cent by 2050. Projections show that urbanization combined with the overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban populations by 2050, with close to 90 percent of the increase concentrated in Asia and Africa, according to a new United Nations report launched on 10 July 2014.

The World Youth Report 2007 examines the challenges and opportunities existing for the roughly 1.2 billion young people between the ages of 15 and 24 in the world. Distinct from the 2003 and 2005 editions, it provides a regional overview summarizing the major youth development trends in the fifteen priority areas of the World Programme of Action for Youth. The report explores major issues of concern to youth development, including employment, education, health, poverty and violence. At the same time, it highlights youth as a positive force for development and provides recommendations for supporting their essential contributions.
The cover of Mongolia Human Development Report 2016,Mr Nyak
the sixth
national Human Development Report of the country, reflects the
core message of the report: including youth is essential to the future
development of Mongolia. Behind the individuals on the cover, a ger,
a traditional Mongolian tent dwelling, mirrors figure 7.1 in the report,
which shows that human development–focused youth policy is built
upon four thematic pillars. In the cover version, the foundation and
walls of the ger are being supported by youth, who represent various
groups in Mongolian society. A burst of 17 spectral prism colours shine
out from the ger, reminding us of the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals. The background orange is the colour associated with
Sustainable Development Goal 9, which highlights the need to build
resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster
innovation for the benefit of human development, which, in our case,
refers to the human development of Mongolian youth.

development vision
SEOUL, REPUBLIC OF KOREA, 9 January 2013 – Job opportunities, rising inequalities, the
environment, gender equality and peace and security in North-East Asia are key priorities the
region’s youth want to see addressed in the world’s future development agenda.
51 youth representatives from China, Japan, Korea and Mongolia have today adopted a bold
declaration on the future of global development entitled ‘The World We Want: A North-East
Asian Youth Vision’.
Their vision was finalized in Seoul at a major youth forum convened as part of worldwide
United Nations-led consultations to prepare a new universal development framework ahead of
the 2015 target date for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The young people from all four countries talked openly, honestly and as equals. As young
people, I think we tackled some of the more sensitive issues more logically than adults often do.
There is a real desire to work together for development and peace in future’ said Clara Suh, 24, a
participant from Seoul.
The declaration demands decision-makers also ensure access to quality education, calls for a
world free from discrimination and stresses the need for greater peace, security, economic and
cultural cooperation and open communication in North-East Asia.
‘I realize that right here, right now I have the chance to fight for the people I have never met
and for children I will never know. We have worked so hard to picture a beautiful future for the
next generations’ said Qingling Kong, 23, a participant from Beijing.
Prepared as formal input for the UN Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on the Post-2015
Development Agenda, the declaration was presented to Korea’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Trade and High-level Panel member, Mr Kim Sung-hwan today on behalf of North-East Asian
youth.
Purevdorj Erkhembulgan, Head of the International Cooperation Division in Mongolia’s Ministry
of Education, Science and Culture and Hirojima Soma, Economic Counselor in the Embassy of
Japan to Korea were also presented with copies of the vision during the public closing
ceremony at Korea University.
2. Participants included graduate students from major universities in the four countries, as well as
youths from diverse backgrounds including ethnic minorities, refugees, orphans, rural youths,
domestic migrant workers, sexual minorities and disabled people.
The three-day forum was hosted by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) Seoul Policy
Centre, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia Pacific’s Sub-regional Office for East
and North-East Asia, the Global Compact Korea Network and Korea University.
Whilst looking forward, participants also looked back at the progress and lessons from the
Millennium Development Goals and the challenges ahead. They committed to continue the
discussions in their own countries after the event.
In his keynote address to closing ceremony, Minister Kim highlighted his aim to bring an Asian
perspective to the work of the High Level Panel and shared his views on the key pillars required for a
new framework’s success.
‘To achieve sustainable economic growth and environmental management, a future global
development framework should prioritize inclusive economic growth and green growth. Given
these considerations, I will contribute two concept papers to the Panel: one on Green Growth
and the other on a Post-2015 implementation mechanism’ he said.
Minister Kim also spoke of the need for a wide-ranging global partnership for development.
‘These young people have stated clearly that the Millennium Development Goals have made a
huge impact in the lives of billions in Asia and worldwide. They also recognize much more must
be done to address extreme poverty, disease, and economic and environmental crises to deliver
a better and more equitable world for all’ said Anne-Isabelle Degryse-Blateau, Director of the
UNDP Seoul Policy Centre.
Kilaparti Ramakrishna, Director of UNESCAP’s Sub regional Office for East and North-East Asia,
highlighted the need to ensure a representative mix of young people in securing youth inclusion
in the post-2015 consultation process.
‘Given the widening inequalities among and within countries in North-East Asia, it is critical that
fora such as this youth conference reach out to various social groups, so that voices from diverse
life experiences join the dialogue’ said Mr Ramakrishna.
A global consultation portal has been set up to gather public priorities to be tackled in a post-
2015 global development framework as part of the unprecedented UN-led consultations. The
portal was officially launched in Korean language at the closing ceremony today and can be
found at www.myworld2015.org. The launch of the Korean version is the first non-official UN
language of the platform.

Note to Editors
Country-level consultations with young people in Japan, China, Korea and Mongolia conducted
over two months guided the dialogue at the forum in Seoul this week.
During the forum, group discussions with the 51 representatives were structured to produce a
declaration that would reflect the unique challenges of the North East Asia region, the value of
the MDGs, the major development challenges the world faces and to articulate a clear vision of
the world young people want, including their demands of future decision-makers.
The declaration also identifies how young people in the region can stay engaged in accelerating
MDG progress and support the post-2015 UN development framework.
UN-led national dialogues in at least 50 countries and 11 global thematic consultations on key
issues pertaining to the post-2015 development agenda are due to be completed by March 2013.
The UN Secretary General’s High-level Panel on the Post-2015 development agenda is co-
chaired by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
of Liberia and Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom. It includes leaders from
civil society, private sector and government and is due to prepare a report in May this year
containing a bold yet practical future development vision.
Enormous progress has been made towards achieving the eight time-bound MDGs – covering
poverty and hunger, education, gender equality, child mortality, maternal health, combatting
HIV/AIDS and other diseases, environmental sustainability and a global partnership for
development. Yet even if the MDGs are fully achieved, much unfinished business will remain.
