Five youth-led policy papers on specific SDG Goals

Following the 2024 United Nations Summit of the Future, a series of youth-informed policy papers were launched to inform and support the Summit's outcomes. The series comprises of five white papers on SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). The youth consultations, led by UNESCO IESALC, were held in June and July 2024 and contained responses from all five UNESCO regions.
