Declaration of the Northwest Asia Youths’ Environmental Symposium 2005
We, the participants of the Northwest Asia Youths’ Environmental Symposium 2005,
had discussion over the environmental problems around us and recognized that there werevarious kinds of the problems ranging from specific local problems to global ones. Also, werealized that daily life has something to do with their causes.
To solve these problems, more people should cooperate. Younger generation like us
can address them. Indeed, there are many youths who are working on it.
We, as the participants of the symposium, hope that the environment in the Northwest
Asia will be maintained and call for all the youths in the Northwest Asia to be our mutual
partners participating assertively in the environmental protection activities with the aim ofestablishing a recycling-oriented society that can co-exist with nature.
