In late April, The UN Economic and Social Council annual Youth Forum took place virtually. The 2022 theme was: COVID-19 Recovery: Youth Taking Action for a Sustainable Future.
This recognized that the pandemic has not only been a problem in its own right, but has had immensely damaging impacts on many of the already lagging paths to achieving the 2030 Agenda. There was also focus on the SDGs scheduled for review in 2022 – 4, 5, 14, 15 & 17.
The full outline of the aims of the forum can be accessed here. The Presidential Statement of policy recommendations should be released soon.
