Meet Giulia Tariello, EU Youth Delegate to the UN for the 79th General Assembly Session

New York, 19 September 2023 - Meet Giulia Tariello, who will continue as the EU Youth Delegate to the United Nations for the 79th UN General Assembly Session.

For the 79th UN General Assembly Session, the EU will be represented by Giulia Tariello, who continues in her role as EU Youth Delegate

As part of the EU Youth Delegate program, the youth will work to encourage young Europeans to participate in the UN's work and increase the visibility of the EU at the UN. Given the challenges that disproportionately affect young people such as climate change and rising inequality, it is important that they have a strong voice to raise their concerns and find solutions. Youth engagement with these issues and the UN's work will also be critical in ensuring action is taken.
