ABOUT THE UN YOUTH SUMMIT
The Youth SDG Summit is powered by UNITE 2030 and hosted 100% by young people, so that we can deliver programming that makes a true impact to echo the challenges that youth are facing.
Entering its 4th edition, The Youth SDG Summit, powered by UNITE 2030, is a global convening of young people and our allies from all sectors and regions of the world. Our overall aim ? Find new ways to mobilize, empower, and inspire young people to take action toward the Global Goals.
While the even is hosted 100% virtually, Unite 2030 is leveraging this moment in history to utilize technology, digital opportunities and far-reaching partnerships, as well as reach newer, hard-to-reach audiences in this new way.
WHY NOW ?
We are at a critical turning point in history. The world is facing the deepest health, economic, and social crisis of our generation, and the situation is worsening. While the situation is dire, we acknowledge the importance of youth in solving these problems, and there is no better time than now.
The 2030 Agenda is our clear roadmap to recovery, and while NGOs, international organizations, and institutions know their role in achieving the SDGs, our role as Youth is less clear. Youth have to shape our role ourselves, which means we need a unified youth voice and message.
