The Expert Group Meeting (EGM) under the theme “Youth, Peace and Security: Social Issues and Social Policies” took place in Rome on 30-31 October 2017. The meeting brought together experts from academia, representatives of Member States, United Nations entities, youth organisations and intergovernmental bodies to examine current challenges regarding youth, peace and security issues, and discussed ways to promote and enhance young people’s positive engagement in conflict prevention, peacebuilding and sustaining peace.

The draft report of this EGM provides the synopsis of the presentations provided by the experts together with the summary of key outcomes and recommendations aimed at strengthening the implementation of the UN youth, peace and security agenda, and more broadly, the implementation of the Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development.
