At the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, Canada committed to Agenda 21, a seminal document representing a cooperatively created international commitment to sustainable development. Chapter 25 of Agenda 21 addresses issues of concern for children and youth and their ability to participate in sustainable development work. This chapter deals with major children and youth issues of that time including employment, equitable access to education, capacity-building for participation in decision-making processes, and others. For the youth participants involved in the Rio conference, this was an important victory in international sustainable development initiatives. It was a formal opening created for the input of youth perspectives into the complex world of international politics.
