Abdulla Shahid, launched the <em>President of the General Assembly\u2019s Harnessing Opportunities for Promoting Empowerment of Youth Fellowship &#8211; the PGA\u2019s Fellowship for HOPE<\/em> &#8211; in New York today, with a call to Member States to nominate applicants.<\/p>\n<p>With the generous support of Member States, the Fellowship will benefit eight young diplomats over the remainder of the 76th session.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing primarily from underrepresented countries at the United Nations, particularly from Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the Fellowship will aim to open the doors to the inner workings of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a flagship initiative of the Presidency of Hope &#8211; one that is particularly close to my heart. I am a firm believer in the importance of engaging with youth and enhancing the role of youth at all levels of decision making. To invest in the future of multilateralism, we need to invest in our youth and bring them closer to the work of the United Nations.\u201d noted President Shahid in his letter to Member States.<\/p>\n<p>The stint at the United Nations will be deeply immersive and include mentorship with senior diplomats and civil servants across the multilateral world. Fellows will have the opportunity to support and engage in High-Level events at the General Assembly, follow negotiation processes, and facilitate the management and execution of mandated events and initiatives. Opportunities also exist for Fellows to join the President on official travel abroad where appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Developed in partnership with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵITAR), the Fellowship will allow participants to garner a deeper understanding of the United Nations system, its organs and subsidiary bodies through training components that shall cover the full gamut of issues relevant to the world today, from climate change to COVID-19, from peace and security, to human rights and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>Fellows will be attached on a rotation basis with the teams of the Office of the President of the General Assembly (OPGA) \u2013 Peace &amp; Security; Human Rights; Humanitarian; Sustainable Development; Reform, Legal &amp; Budget; and Communications. Through their work in the Office of the PGA, the Fellows will gain an in-depth understanding of the workings of the United Nations system, ranging from the Secretariat to United Nations funds and programmes, specialized agencies, and other entities and bodies.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of selection process, Member States have been invited to nominate one candidate for consideration. An independent expert panel, consisting of one Member State, representative of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ System, and Civil Society Organization, will assess candidates, taking into consideration gender and regional representation.<\/p>\n<p>All costs associated with relocation, housing and work will be covered by the Member State funded Fellowship Programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a small islander, I know all too well the struggles that many countries, particularly those in special situations, face when ensuring representation abroad, whether at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ or at events such as COP26. We need to do more to build capacities where they are needed. I hope we can do our part.\u201d said President Shahid.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for applications is 30 November, with candidates expected in New York by early January 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media inquiries should be submitted to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carl Mercer, <a href=\"mailto:carl.mercer@un.org\">carl.mercer@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> New York, 16 November 2021 \u2013 The President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly, H.E.

Mr. Abdulla Shahid, concluded his 4-day official visit to the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow.<\/p><p>The PGA delivered remarks at the formal Opening of the COP26, where he emphasized that humanity had the capacity to tackle the climate crisis but lacked the will to deliver. The PGA also relayed messages from the General Assembly High-Level Dialogue on Delivering Climate Action which took place on 26<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Oct at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Headquarters in New York. At the event, Member States called for reliable access to finance, technology transfer, and support for adaptation.<\/p><p>On day 2 of COP26, the PGA joined other world leaders at the World Leaders Summit. The President spoke with Heads of State and Government, and Ministers, from a number of countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Barbados, Brunei, Canada, Comoros, Egypt, Fiji, Guinea Bissau, India, Kuwait, Malawi, Maldives, Namibia, Palau, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, the UAE, Zimbabwe, as well as the European Commission.<\/p><p>The President held bilateral discussions with H.E.

Likewise, the President welcomed the<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, noting that these were constructive and concrete steps to maintain the 1.5 target.<\/p><p>President Shahid spoke with several media outlets during his visit, including Deutsche Welle, Al-Jazeera, Bloomberg, Sky News Arabia, Public Service Media of Maldives, Doordharshan News, and CNBC. The President also participated in the \u2018Net Zero World\u2019 documentary.<\/p><p>Prior to departure, the President toured the Green Zone \u2013 the public venue of COP26 \u2013 and met with Alman, a young boy from the Maldives who had created a viral video on the need for climate action.<\/p><p>Commenting on the state of negotiations and COP26, President Shahid noted:<\/p><p><em>\u201cI leave Glasgow with cautious optimism; COP26 needs to reignite hope for people everywhere by recommitting to 1.5, by fleshing out details on how we will get there. The people of the world sense the urgency, now they need to know we have a clear pathway and timeline. I believe we are seeing that come together. The announcements on deforestation and on methane, combined with calls for finance, adaptation and net zero targets, are signs of progress.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"committee-meeting":[],"class_list":["post-252590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pressreleases","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>General Assembly President Launches Youth Fellowship | General Assembly of the United Nations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/76\/2021\/11\/16\/general-assembly-president-launches-youth-fellowship\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"General Assembly President Launches Youth Fellowship | General Assembly of the United Nations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New York, 16 November 2021 \u2013 The President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly, H.E.
