Lily YangLiu began activism at age 10, recognizing by 13 that youth voices were often tokenized. This sparked her commitment to inclusive political and environmental decision-making. She now leads K–12 Climate Literacy, developing early climate education for BC schools, and the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute, organizing youth delegations to the UN, IMF, and World Bank.

Her advocacy extends to YOUNGO, supporting 10,000 young climate advocates, and roles with Children First Canada and Youth Climate Corps BC. Named a Top 25 Woman of Influence in Canada, YangLiu believes "activism isn’t about noise; it’s about care, appreciation, and building inclusive communities," a principle guiding her work.

The WSIS Prizes, announced May 28, 2024, in Geneva, recognized innovative technological approaches from 18 countries supporting sustainable development. ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin highlighted these solutions as vital for advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and bridging the digital divide.

Digitalization is crucial for the cultural heritage sector to engage citizens, yet traditional education often lacks inclusive, learner-centric approaches vital for accessibility and achieving SDGs. The Erasmus+ "Young ArcHers" project addresses this by empowering educators to create inclusive, accessible digital storytelling using cultural heritage. It helps diverse students discover and protect local heritage through technology. Learn more at youngarchers.eu.

Raina Maiga, 16, an asylum seeker, ensures youth voices influence policy, driven by her experience of powerlessness. As Executive Director of Confront the Climate Crisis, an Indiana youth environmental organization, she leads legislative efforts.

Under Maiga, the group co-wrote and lobbied for two state bills (2022-2023) creating a climate solutions task force. They also held Statehouse events, educating youth and fostering legislator discussions. Maiga secured $20,000 yearly grants, removing financial barriers for student attendance.

Though state bills didn't pass, Confront the Climate Crisis now helps students enact local climate resolutions with city councils, adding to ten youth-written resolutions in Indiana, advocated for with Earth Charter Indiana.

Frustrated by the inaccessibility of climate action for young people, Vishruth Dinesh founded The Green Therapy in late 2022. At eight, he realized options like EVs or voting were out of reach for youth, making effective environmentalism seem a privilege. His grassroots organization aims to anchor young people in the climate movement.

The Green Therapy empowers youth through sustainable gardening, which reduces waste, preserves biodiversity, and combats pollution affordably. It partners with 14 San Francisco Bay Area schools, establishing environmental courses and garden programs. These initiatives equip students with practical skills to protect the planet, fostering a lasting connection to nature and building a growing school garden network.

Mammals aren't the only animals feeding their young with bodily secretions. Caecilians, limbless tropical amphibians, have species whose young are born with teeth and feed on their mothers’ skin. These egg-hatched youngsters can also prompt their mothers to eject a high-fat, high-protein substance from their cloacae by making specific clicking noises.

Wallace’s flying frogs employ a unique camouflage strategy: masquerading as bird droppings. Researchers discovered that young froglets, painted to resemble fecal matter with red and white splotches, were attacked half as often by predators as those with solid colors. This "fecal camo" helps these young frogs survive to adulthood, allowing them to grow into the green, web-footed adults found in rainforest canopies.

This fascinating research was highlighted by the Center for Biological Diversity in [Endangered Earth Online](https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/publications/earthonline/endangered-earth-online-no1231.html) and a [Scientific American report](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/this-flying-frog-spends-its-youth-masquerading-as-poop/).

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) 2023, held on May 17, focused on "Empowering the least developed countries (LDCs) through information and communication technologies."

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) 2023, held on May 17, focused on "Empowering the least developed countries (LDCs) through information and communication technologies." The ITU urged public and private sectors to pledge universal connectivity and digital transformation in these nations via its Partner2Connect Digital Coalition.

LDCs are a vital untapped resource, home to one-third of the world's 2.7 billion unconnected people. Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 critically depends on addressing their needs, a priority underscored by the LDC5 Conference in Doha. Investing in these vibrant countries can drive sustainable growth for generations, making 2023 a key year for their digital progress.
