Youth 2015
To bring the voice of youth into the discussion, ECOSOC will convene a Youth Forum on 2 June 2014. The Forum will be organized by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in collaboration with the Office of the Youth Envoy of the Secretary-General.
The engagement of young people in shaping the global development agenda is critical in shaping the present and safeguarding the future landscape of their countries. They are already actively engaged in trying to shape the post-2015 development and sustainable development agenda. They have participated actively in the “World We Want 2015” Campaign, the NGLS regional consultations and have presented their views to the Open-Ended Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals. The Forum will also build on these consultations as well as youth participation initiatives of UN system partners.
