Non-profit organisation Genervision House has become the first official member organization from Macau to be admitted to the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network Youth Initiative (SDSN Youth).
Genervision House is a knowledge exchange and advocacy platform established in Macau as well as an organization promoting the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing the local community with sustainable development-related knowledge, videos, events and projects.
The SDGs, also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 ‘all people enjoy peace and prosperity’ covering areas such as sustainable development, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.
Meanwhile, the SDSN Youth is a program under Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)established in 2012 by former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon to mobilize global expertise around the SDGs through education, research, policy analysis and global cooperation.
Currently, this youth network is made up of over 750 Member Organizations, covering 127 countries, with Genevrision House becoming a full-fledged member on October 27.
“Genervision House is honoured to have become one of the members of this youth network. We will make good use of the resources and assistance provided by this network, cooperate with other youth organizations worldwide to conduct knowledge-sharing, and also hope to promote education and research concerning SDGs.” Arianna U, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Genervision House said in an announcement sent to Macau News Agency.
“Becoming a member of SDSN Youth has been one of the main goals for Genervision House in 2021, and we are pleased to have achieved it before the end of the year. We look forward to engaging with this international network in the future to share more international perspectives on sustainable development with people in Macau.”
Genervision House currently engages in online content production as well as offline community events to advocate for the 17 UN SDGs but it plans to collaborate with policymakers to provide workshops and constructive solutions in order to improve the social, economic and environmental aspects of local development.
