Monkey with can Sustainable development is central to the lives of young people wherever they live in the world

The actions of individuals across the world affect other people, animals and the environment. Sustainable development is concerned with achieving quality of life for everyone, without damaging the planet for future generations. It impacts on the lives of all young people and is influenced by their daily choices and activities.

This website is a useful starting point for anyone interested in sustainable development and youth work. It illustrates the links between youth work and sustainable development and provides practical ideas, resources and information on developing work with young people.

This site is funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Environmental Action Fund. As the lead Government department for sustainable development, Defra supports the way youth work can help to educate and engage young people on the concept. Youth work can initiate action among young people on sustainable development issues and enable their participation as active citizens.
