SYMPOSIUM LAUNCH<\/span><\/h1>

Our future: a Lancet<\/em>\u00a0Commission on adolescent health and wellbeing<\/span><\/h2>

Tuesday, 10 May 2016,\u00a009:00 \u2013 17:30 BST<\/span><\/h3>

This is the largest generation of adolescents and young adults in human history (1.8 billion), they are a group that demands more attention and action.<\/p>

Adolescents and young adults face unprecedented social, economic, and cultural change. This new\u00a0Lancet<\/em>\u00a0Commission argues that there are tremendous unrealised opportunities not only for the health and wellbeing of young people themselves but also for the future of society and future generations. Inaction however remains a threat to health, economic development, and even the health of our planet. The most powerful actions for adolescent health and wellbeing are intersectoral, multilevel, and multicomponent and engage and empower young people themselves to be part of change and accountability mechanisms.<\/p>
