International Youth Day to be commemorated in Honiara

Various activities are being planned to mark this year's International Youth Day in Honiara starting next week.

The Theme is "Youth and Climate Change - Time For Action"

One of the organisers of events marking the Youth Day, Honiara City Council's Mary Jionisi says that it's important that issues on youth and climate change be addressed.

She says climate change is a global issue and it's the younger generations that will be affected.

Ms Jionisi says youths will have the opportunity to voice their concerns on the issues highlighting the International Youth Day.

She says that 12 youth representatives have drawn up a plan of events over several days leading up to the main event on August 12th.

The main event will be held at the cultural village in Central Honiara.
