Panel time: 12.00-13.00 GMT
This dynamic panel discussion hosted by Professors Without Borders will delve into the crucial topic of youth inclusion in work on the SDGs. We will explore the progression of youth representation and participation in various countries since inception and will consider whether a diluted form of inclusivity has resulted in global youth complacency, hindering their willingness and/or ability to drive meaningful change.
Young panellists will share insights into the challenges faced in their national and regional contexts regarding meaningful youth inclusion in sustainable development actions. The discussion aims to uncover barriers and seek solutions to empower the younger generation, and will invite participants to share their transformative wishes for the future, highlighting key aspects to enhance youth participation and propel sustainable development initiatives globally.
