The “Vive con Esperanza” declaration highlights that the new generations in the Americas are the most affected by the lack of guarantees for a viable future. Young people and children face critical challenges, such as the lack of access to quality education that effectively and concretely integrates environmental sustainability and disaster risk management. This limits their ability to understand their surroundings, develop their potential, and lead the development of their communities. Additionally, the absence of clear legal frameworks, and especially the lack of intersectoral coordination, leaves them vulnerable to emerging threats, which endanger their environmental heritage and future well-being.
