The Swiss Youth Reps were part of the official Swiss Delegation at the UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development in 2024 (Aneschka Berchtold, Ellie Hutterli, Arlinda Ramqaj and Alexis Balimann) and 2025 (Aneschka Berchtold and Flora Chiper). We emphasized the importance of future proof policy making - here an extract from our statement during the closing session in 2024:
"[We will live] well beyond 2030 or 2050. The lack of action today will have a greater impact on my future than any of my personal decisions. For this future to be liveable and sustainable for everyone, we must balance long-term commitment with immediate action. This necessitates harmonising the enduring, research-driven approaches of the scientific community with the dynamic, rapid response capabilities of the private sector. Both are vital for achieving the 2030 Agenda's goals promptly. This emphasises the urgent need for collaborative action across all sectors and generations. In light of this challenge, how can we combine a vision extending to 2050 and beyond with the realisation of current goals, especially with regard to a multisectoral and multistakeholder approach?"
