Focusing this year on, “COVID-19 recovery: “Youth taking action for a sustainable future,” the Forum is an annual event that provides young people from around the globe the chance to engage in dialogue with UN Member States and other international actors. This year, the Forum will specifically be focusing on the impact that COVID-19 has had on youth and global efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this Decade of Action.
The Youth Forum will specifically be reviewing the progress of SDG 4 on quality education, SDG 5 on gender equality, SDG 14 life below water, SDG 15 life on land, and SDG 17 on partnership for the goals.
This two-day event will feature plenary sessions and interactive thematic and regionally based discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to share best practices, lessons learned, and potential innovative solutions directly with country representatives, youth from around the world, and other actors such as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
