There, Wane emphasized the urgency of current challenges for young people and how important it is to develop and implement solutions together with them. "The UN Youth, Peace and Security Agenda, which ensures that the perspectives of young people are considered in peace debates, must be further strengthened in the UN Security Council. Especially in times of numerous conflicts, a holistic strategy is needed to ensure that children and young people can grow up in peace and security," Wane said accordingly.

Own Speech Before the 3rd Committee

At the beginning of next week, Wane will give a speech before the 3rd Committee as part of the Austrian delegation at the UN General Assembly. This committee is responsible for social, humanitarian, and cultural issues. Prior to this, Wane organized a side event to discuss the role of young people in the implementation of international goals.

Wane is from Vienna and studies Business & Economics and International Law. He is also involved in volunteer work, including national and internationally oriented youth participation projects, it was stated.
