世界各地在每年8月12日庆祝国际青年日
每年8月12日，世界各地庆祝国际青年日（International Youth Day）。由联合国1999年提议设立的这个日子从2000年以来便成为一年一度的庆祝日。
今年的国际青年日以“建设更美好的世界：与青年合作”为主题，呼吁全球加强与年轻人的合作，共建美好世界。15岁至24岁的青年占世界人口的六分之一。
世界银行负责青少年事务的协调员温迪•坎宁安（Wendy Cunningham）指出：“年轻人与他们的父母一代相比，有了更多的机会，更大的决策权。”

In 2012, the day carries the theme "Building a Better World: Partnering with Youth," a global call to work with youth to build a better world. People ages 15 through 24 make up one-sixth of the world’s population.
“Compared to their parents’ generation, young people have more opportunities and more say in decisionmaking,” said Wendy Cunningham, the World Bank’s coordinator for children and youth.
But Cunningham said that there are more steps to take to help young people thrive. Countries that invest in better education, health care and job training for young adults create economic growth and reduce poverty, according to the bank’s World Development Report 2012.
