Since 2022, we are joined by regional youth networks, such as Major Group for Children and Youth and Children and Youth Major Group to UNEP. The APFSD Youth Forum engages 400-500 adolescents and young people in the age group of 13-30 years from across Asia and the Pacific region to develop National, Sub-Regional and Regional Youth Call to Action.\u00a0<\/p><p>2025 is a crucial year for ARROW and Co-conveners with <strong>Goal 3 (good health and well- being) <\/strong>and <strong>Goal 5 (Gender Equality) <\/strong>being assessed at the APFSD along with <strong>Goal 8 (decent work and economic growth); 14 (life below water) and 17 (partnership for the Goals).<\/strong> In alignment with the goals under review in HLPF 2025 and APFSD 2025, the youth forum will focus on the review, gaps and challenges of the 5 goals. The overarching theme for the youth forum is \u201c<strong>Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for leaving no young person behind in Asia and the Pacific\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>The outcomes of the APFSD Youth Forum, which is primarily the APFSD Youth Call to Action, will feed into the APFSD Intergovernmental Forum 2025, the High-Level Political Forum 2025, as well as the ECOSOC Youth Forum 2025. The Youth Call to Action will also contribute to national level follow up and review with governments in respective countries. We also strive to ensure young people\u2019s representation and active participation in all these identified forums.<\/p><p>We are also looking forward to abstracts submission and innovation proposals on climate action, gender equality and human rights, health and wellbeing, young people\u2019s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information and services, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), decent work, and partnerships to realise SDGs in the Asia and Pacific.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c9fc5f
