Young Agenda 21
(29.08.2007) Young Agenda 21 is an environmental foundation based in Stavanger, Norway. It is not a member organisation, but an organiser of various environmental activities. It was founded upon the objectives outlined in Agenda 21 - a document resulting from the 'Rio Earth Summit' in 1992.

According to Agenda 21, children are to be involved in decisions concerning their future environment, and their views are to be made clear to the authorities in today's society.
The foundation supervises a large biannual international environmental conference for children in the Stavanger region, and also smaller conferences and other activities that raise environmental awareness among children and adults who work with children, mainly school teachers.
The foundation was established in 2000 by Rogaland County Council, Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola and Gjesdal Councils, Statoil, Lyse, IVAR and Environment Northern Seas Foundation. The office is at the International House in Stavanger.
