SDSN Youth Convenes Young Leaders for Collective Action on Sustainable Development

In October, we convened 50 young leaders from around the world for the tenth edition of the Vatican Youth Symposium, exploring how to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through intergenerational dialogue, stronger partnerships, and practical solutions for sustainable development.

Our Work

As the world's largest knowledge network for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) works under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General to mobilize the world's universities, think tanks, and national laboratories to identify and develop global and local solutions for action on the world's most critical sustainable development challenges. We operate at the intersection between science, policy, and development practice to promote the SDGs and the Paris Agreement through education, research, policy analysis, and global cooperation.
