A world of 8 billion: Asian youth sends a message through art

As the world population reaches 8 billion, YPEER Asia Pacific Center, with the support of UNFPA Asia-Pacific Regional Office, engaged a group of young people from the region to gather their opinions on the world of 8 billion people and the message they wish to convey through art.
Thai artist, Supis Nui, collected those voices to create this painting in consultation with the young people. The message from young people to the world is loud and clear: the choice is ours.
Whether we live in a world plagued by hunger, war, inequality, lack of education, and suppression of freedoms, or an inclusive world which embraces diversity, upholds rights and choices, protects the environment, and fosters innovation and intergenerational exchange will be determined by our own individual and collective actions.
