In September 2018, in the context of the 73rd United Nations (UN) General Assembly’s (UNGA) high-level General Debate, the UN Secretary-General unveiled Youth 2030, a strategy reflecting the UN’s new commitment to working with and for young people. The strategy will act as an umbrella framework to guide the UN across the strategy’s three pillars (peace and security, human rights and sustainable development). The Youth 2030 strategy has prioritized five goals: 1) amplify youth voices for the promotion of a peaceful, just and sustainable world (engagement, participation and advocacy); 2) support young people’s greater access to quality education and health services; 3) support young people’s greater access to decent work and productive employment; 4) protect and promote the rights of young people and support their civic and political engagement; and 5) support young people as catalysts for peace and security and humanitarian action.
