Building a Future of Inclusion

Sharing core norms and values
May 17, 2019 | UNDP

Today, young people are more likely than older adults to become entrepreneurs, have higher literacy rates and are more connected through technology than ever before. These qualities make youngsters a very powerful tool to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, they are often not in the places where decisions are made. To give voice to their ideas, the 2019 UN Economic and Social Council Youth Forum gathered more than 1,000 young leaders from around the world, to share how they would achieve the Global Goals. In this paper, six young inspiring leaders speak about their work in promoting peace and bridging the gaps in the areas of gender, poverty, education, disability and political inclusion.
