Youth Engagement at the
UNEP Working Group on Nitrogen
Mandated by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA), the UNEP Working Group on Nitrogen was established in response to the implementation of UNEA Resolution 4/14 on 'Sustainable Nitrogen Management.' Subsequently, the mandate of the Working Group was expanded to address the second resolution on sustainable nitrogen management (UNEA Resolution 5/2) and to facilitate its implementation by Member States and stakeholders.

Nitrogen pollution poses a significant environmental challenge, impacting climate, air and water. Youth involvement is crucial in addressing this issue, as they play a vital role in promoting sustainable practices and raising awareness. Encouragingly, national action plans, as emphasized by UNEA resolutions, offer a framework for countries to reduce nitrogen waste significantly and mitigate nitrogen pollution. Engaging youth meaningfully in the formulation and implementation of these plans can foster innovation and ensure a more sustainable and inclusive approach towards addressing global nitrogen pollution challenges.
