[요약보고서] 2024년 유엔 세계물개발보고서: 번영과 평화를 위한 물 Year of publication: 2024 Author: Richard Connor Corporate author: UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) 누구나 안전하고 공평하게 물을 이용할 수 있도록 개발하고 관리하는 것은, 번영과 평화를 위한 초석이다. 그러나 빈곤과 불평등, 사회적 긴장과 갈등으로 인해 물 안보가 저해됨에 따라 번영과 평화가 약화되는 부작용이 초래되기도 한다. 본 보고서는 지속가능한 물 관리와 번영, 평화 간의 복잡한 상호관계에 주목하여, 어느 한 부문에서의 진보과정이 다른 부문들에게 어떻게 긍정적이고, 때로는 필수적인 영향을 미치는지에 대해 설명하고자 한다.

Engaging Girls, Boys and Youth as Active Citizens: Plan International’s Position Paper Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Plan International Plan International believes that every child and young person has the right to express their views freely and safely; influence decisions and take action on issues that matter to them. However, around the world children and young people – particularly girls and young women – face significant challenges in realising this right. They tend to be wrongly dismissed as insufficiently mature to participate in political and civic processes. They also tend to be stigmatised as potential perpetrators of disruption, not as valued citizens and contributors to society who can lead and drive positive change. Plan International is calling for a paradigm shift in the way the international community talks about, engages and partners with children and young people. Children and young people are not just the future. They are the present. Young people constitute almost half of the world’s population, yet they are dramatically underrepresented – even excluded – in political decision-making. It is critical that their views and needs are taken into account politically, socially, legally and economically. Promoting the voices and views of children and young people – especially girls and women – in all their diversity and supporting them to actively engage in decision-making on issues that affect their lives must be an urgent priority for the world’s power holders. Realising children and young people’s civil and political rights is a prerequisite for building sustainable and peaceful societies, and a gender just world envisioned in international human rights frameworks and the 2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs).Across the 75+ countries Plan International works in, young people have consistently identified the denial of their political and civil rights as a priority issue. In March 2017, Plan International conducted consultations with young women and men aged 14 to 30 from 14 countries. In every country, young people reported a sense of “citizen responsibility” and an interest in public life, yet identified the lack of platforms to meaningfully engage with decision-makers and inability to ensure their opinions are taken seriously as key barriers. Girls and young women in particular have called for the removal of gendered norms that increase those barriers, silence their voices and disproportionately hold them back from leadership and active citizenship.
