Young People's Agenda 21:
PYPA 21 is an independent organisation that is supported by Plymouth City Council.
Its overall purpose is to help the young people of Plymouth to get involved in 'Agenda
21', the international framework for sustainable development that was agreed to by the
world's governments at the 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro. It is PYPA 21's task to
initially create awareness amongst the younger generation of Plymouth of 'Agenda 21' and
then to gather information from them about what these concerns might be and it is this
principle that forms the 'backbone' of PYPA 21. During the summer PYPA21 runs
the 'Out and About' series which are relaxed and informal, designed to get young people
out enjoying the countryside. Travel is by public transport to show young people
what they can do on their own. Visit their website at
