Policy Brief » Meaningful Youth Engagement in Policy and Decision-Making Processes
By United Nations
This policy brief emphasizes the importance of meaningful youth engagement in decision-making processes, particularly in relation to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It highlights the critical role that the 1.2 billion young people globally play in driving societal change, especially in areas like climate action, racial justice, and gender equality. Despite their impact in various sectors, youth remain largely excluded from public policymaking at national and international levels. The brief calls for increased youth participation, not just as a token gesture but as a necessary step for effective governance and sustainable change.
