🤝 Engaging youth in decision-making is essential to building inclusive, peaceful societies!
UNDP plays a central role in advancing meaningful youth engagement by helping transform young people’s priorities into policy-relevant‑ solutions across sustainable development, democratic governance, peacebuilding, climate action, and digital innovation.
Through plenary discussions, interactive sessions, and side events, the ECOSOC Youth Forum offered a critical platform to elevate youth-led‑ solutions, strengthen collaboration, and carry youth priorities forward into concrete policy outcomes across key intergovernmental processes.
