ECOSOC Youth Forum 2024

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum took place from 16 to 18 April 2024 at the United Nations headquarters in New York.    
The Forum provided a global platform for dialogue among Member States and young leaders from around the world on solutions to challenges affecting youth wellbeing. It also served as a unique space for young people to share their vision and actions as well as provide an opportunity to advance youth solutions to accelerate  the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs.   

Looking to the Future

On April 16, 2024, the Trusteeship Council Chamber hosted the ECOSOC Youth Forum, featuring the launch of a unique video series showcasing Hello Kitty as the special ambassador for Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11). This initiative highlights the crucial role of urban youth in advancing sustainable development and showcases their efforts in transforming informal settlements.
