The 20th session of the Youth Assembly at the United Nations presents both an enormous opportunity and a challenge with the goal to stimulate and ensure youth engagement and participation in achieving an inclusive and sustainable future where no one is left behind.
Guided by the over arching principle of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, “leaving no one behind” the conference will explore cross-cutting issues and solutions for sustainable development in the social, economic and environmental dimensions.
While the youth are among those subjected to exclusion and marginalisation, they have the potential to accelerate and achieve sustainable development in their communities and beyond. With their unique sets of skills and perspectives in today’s ever-revolving world, they remain at the front lines of innovation and change.
