In September 2015, Member States of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, setting out a global vision and plan for ending poverty and hunger, realizing human rights, and strengthening world peace by 2030.

As the largest youth generation in history, it’s time to step up. The 2030 Agenda clearly applies to all of the world’s 1.2 billion young people, who currently make up 16 per cent of the global population—and to the 1.3 billion young people who will call the world home by the year 2030.

During the 75th anniversary of the United Nations’ General Assembly, we are calling on youth around the world to action to acknowledge the work being done already for the Global Goals, and the work that is still left to be done.

We are hosting the Youth SDG Summit to empower young leaders to continue their work toward the Global Goals. The Youth SDG Summit is invitation only.

The theme of day 1 of the Youth SDG Summit is For People.
The theme of day 2 is the Youth SDG Summit is For Planet.

The Summit takes place from 10 am – 5 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time) on the 23rd and 24th of September.
