About the UN-Habitat Youth Advisory Board:
The Youth Advisory Board serves as a consultative body that provides valuable insights and recommendations to UN-Habitat regarding sustainable urban development strategies.

In its latest term, the YAB is actively seeking dedicated and passionate young individuals to join its ranks. The board will ensure representation from each of UN-Habitat's six regions and is committed to achieving gender balance.

The UN-Habitat Youth Advisory Board is co-hosted by the Balikesir Metropolitan Municipality in Turkey, which will host World Habitat Day in 2023.
