THORAYA AHMED OBAID, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNFPAThe United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) supports countries in their efforts to achieve sustainabledevelopment by giving priority attention to population, gender and reproductive health.Our work is guided by the Programme of Action of the 1994 International Conference on Population andDevelopment (ICPD) and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. We place special emphasis onadvancing sexual and reproductive health with a focus on the needs and rights of men, women and youth,particularly those who are vulnerable and marginalized.The need for sexual and reproductive health education and services has never been greater. Although recentUNAIDS statistics show HIV prevalence rates declining among youth in many high-prevalence countries, youngpeople aged 15-24 still account for 40 per cent of all new HIV infections in adults. In sub-Saharan Africa, about70 per cent of infections are among young women.Comprehensive and age-appropriate sexuality education plays a critical role in HIV prevention. Knowledgeabout sexual and reproductive health helps young people to protect themselves and reduce risky behaviour.Research also shows that girls who complete secondary school have lower HIV infection rates than girls withlower levels of educational attainment.By advancing access to education and reproductive health information and services, with a focus on humanrights and gender equality, and by supporting the leadership of young people, we can improve prospects for amore just, peaceful and sustainable world.Thoraya Ahmed Obaid,Executive Director, UNFPA[ 15 ]
KONRAD OSTERWALDER, RECTOR, UNITED NATIONS UNIVERSITYCaring about sustainable development means accepting responsibility for the well-being of futuregenerations and also of our habitat and our planet. Taking a positive approach to sustainability has to be anintegral part of the moral foundation of our actions and our lifestyle. This means that promoting sustainabledevelopment must be an important aspect of the educational agenda at all levels. It starts in kindergartenand it goes all the way to the university level and beyond. It basically involves three aspects: the buildupand reinforcement of a basic understanding of the problem of sustainability, an inspection of all aspects ofour life under the criterion of sustainability and finally an active search for new methods and techniques tofurther sustainable development.The United Nations University (UNU), in particular through the research and teaching activities of twoUNU institutes, the UNU Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) in Yokohama, and the UNU Institutefor Sustainability and Peace (UNU-ISP) in Tokyo, is contributing to the implementation of the UN Decadeof Education for Sustainable Development, 2005-2014. The UNU is proud of its ongoing work andcollaboration with UNESCO in the area of education for sustainable development, as it is an important andvery practical way for the UNU to help ensure a sustainable future for all.Konrad OsterwalderRector, United Nations University[ 16 ]
