(Part 3) ECOSOC Youth Forum 2025.


The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum is taking place from 15 to 17 April 2025. The theme is: Youth at the Forefront: Leveraging Science and Social Inclusion for Sustainable Development

Session 4 and 5: Youth lead from local to global: Meaningful youth participation in policymaking & decision-making

This session will be divided in two parts with the aim of exploring the core principles of meaningful youth participation in policy-making and decision-making processes, as well as sharing good practices of youth engagement in policy-making at various levels as part of the follow up to the Pact for the Future.

The Youth Forum provides a platform for young people to engage in a dialogue with Member States and other stakeholders to share their views and concerns as well as galvanize actions and recommendations to transform the world into a fairer, greener and more sustainable place led by the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


The ECOSOC Youth Forum will be guided by the 2025 theme of ECOSOC and the High-level Political Forum (HLPF): "Advancing sustainable, inclusive, science- and evidence-based solutions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for leaving no one behind". It will also provide opportunities to discuss concrete actions and commitments to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for in-depth review at the 2025 HLPF, namely SDG 3 (Good health and well-being), SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 14 (Life below water) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
