Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) Youth Forum 2024

"Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: The effective delivery of sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions with young people at the forefront"

The forum aims to:

  • Ensure young people's voices and their realities are included in setting the regional agenda on sustainable development through the development of the Regional Youth Call to Action;
  • Empower young people through meaningful interactions and conversations between various stakeholders, including UN agencies, Member States, and youth-led and youth-serving organisations, to realise the commitments around the SDGs;
  • Approach the sustainable development agenda with an intersectional, youth, human rights, and justice lens to address systemic and structural issues affecting the realisation of the SDGs in the region;
  • Create a platform for young people for learning, sharing, capacity strengthening, and meaningful engagement;
  • Review the previous AFPSD Regional Youth Declaration and push forward advocacy at the national level.
