Advisory Council
The new Tunza Youth Advisory Council (TYAC) has been elected on August 30 at the Tunza Youth Conference 2007 in Leverkusen. The participants, one vote per country, chose the new members of the council.
The TYAC was launched in February 1999 at the 20th Session of the UNEP Governing Council. The Council comprises 12 Advisors, two per UNEP region. Each Advisor has an Associate Advisor who stands in for him or her when he or she is not available. Members of the Advisory Council are elected at the Tunza International Youth Conference to serve for a period of two years.
The Council advises UNEP on better ways of engaging young people in its work and represents youth in international environmental negotiations. The Council also seeks to increase youth involvement in UNEP’s work by informing youth groups in the regions about UNEP’s programmes for young people.
