Antigua and Barbuda's National Youth Ambassador, Christal Percival, delivered a notable intervention at the United Nations in New York on April 16, drawing attention to one of the global community's most pressing development priorities.
According to Antigua Observer, Percival addressed delegates at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum, where she spoke to the importance of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
The annual ECOSOC Youth Forum serves as a key platform for young leaders from around the world to engage directly with the UN's development agenda. Percival's participation placed Antigua and Barbuda among the voices shaping that conversation at the international level.
As reported by Antigua Observer, Percival opened her remarks with a compelling address that underscored the relevance of SDG 11 to small island developing states and communities like those found across Antigua and Barbuda.
