| | UNFPA: POPULATION ISSUES: SUPPORTING ADOLESCENTS & YOUTH: Youth Participation |
 | | Active youth participation may require changes in the way adults perceive and deal with young people, as their capacities often are unrecognized or undervalued. |
 | | During the forum, a special annex of HIV/AIDS was adopted indicating the commitment and dedication of youth around the globe to addressing the issue of HIV/AIDS. |
 | | The forum provided recommendations covering youth concerns in ten main areas: education, information and communications technology, employment, health and population, hunger poverty and debt, environment and human settlements, social integration, culture and peace, youth policy, participation and rights, young women and girls, and sports and leisure-time activities. |
