FutureGenerations

8 Chinese youth dedicated to promoting community change represented Future Generations China at the Youth in Development Forum in Bulgaria in a global dialogue on the United Nations Millennium Development goals. Students formed mixed international teams to devise community capacity development projects to address global issues. This pamphlet highlights one page fact sheets on each student with their millennium goals, community commitments, and short bio.

This 12 page report describes the route activities of the 2010 Green Long March, China’s largest youth-led green action campaign. Over 5,000 students from 80 universities promoted regional solutions to climate change across eight routes. Now in its fourth year, the Green Long March also awarded 65 Green Seed Awards to mobilize student environmental groups to conduct research and development in finding local solutions.

Roads are vital for overall development and the access afforded by these can be both extremely beneficial as well as hugely damaging. The road network in Peru includes the Inter-Oceanic Highway South [Carratera Interoceania Sur], a route linking the Pacific Ocean in Peru with a highway in Brazil that continues east to the Atlantic. This artery, already completed in Brazil but not totally finished in Peru, brings substantial social and environmental change to many areas.
