CONCEPT
60� percent� of� Pakistan's� population� comprises� of� youth.� According� to� 2008�statistics,�24.4�million�are�in�the�age�group�of�19-29�years�[1].�Two�critical�issues�arise�from�this�demographic�situation.�First,�there�is�a�potential�risk�to�society�if�young�people's�resources�of�energy,�time,�and�knowledge�are�misdirected�towards�vices�such�as�violence,�war,�terrorism,�and�drug�and�alcohol�abuse,�thereby�leading�to� political,� economic,� and� social� instability.� Second,� there� is� a� powerful�opportunity�for�society�if�young�people�can�participate�positively�in�all�aspects�of�life� such�as�governance,�development,� culture,�environment,�and�commerce� to�promote�sustainable�development.�Young�people�have�an�enormous�stake�in�the�present�and�future�state�of�the�planet.�
Agenda � 21‒the � susta inable � deve lopment � b luepr int � for � the � 21st�Century‒recognized�in�Chapter�36�that�education,�public�awareness,�and�training�are�critical�for�sustainable�development,�and�that�participation�and�involvement�of�young� people,� alongside� other� eight� major� groups� ,� are� essential� in� its�implementation�(United�Nations�1992).�However,�sustainable�development‒in�its�dimensions�of�environment,�society,�and�economy‒remains�elusive�as�the�state�of:�(a)� planet� (these� are:� 1)� women;� 2)� indigenous� people;� 3)� nongovernmental�organisations;�4)� local�authorities;�5)�workers�and�trade�unions;�6)�scientific�and�technological�communities;�7)�farmers;�and�8)�business�and�industry)�continues�to�deteriorate� with� attendant� disastrous� consequences� for� human� well-being�(Millennium� Ecosystem� Assessment� 2005).� The� United� Nations� Decade� of�Education�for�Sustainable�Development�(UNDESD),�2005-2014,�has�provided�a�vital�opportunity� to� document� and� explore� how� to� enhance� the� involvement� and�participation�of�young�people�in�sustainable�development�processes�and�activities�using�education�as�a�tool.
