The International Youth Forum 4.0, main themed “Partnering with the Youth to achieve SDG: Moving from policy to action” focusing on Empowering Youth for a Sustainable Future: Advancing the SDGs and Upholding Human Rights, is dedicated to bringing together young leaders, activists, policymakers, and experts from across the globe to engage in meaningful dialogue and action on critical global issues. In an era where international cooperation is both essential and challenging due to mistrust and outdated systems, this forum stands as a vital platform to rebuild trust and showcase that effective collaboration can address today’s most pressing challenges and help shape a better future.

The annual IYF convenes young minds worldwide, representing a diverse range of organizations committed to human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Over the course of two transformative days, participants will engage in impactful speeches, interactive workshops, and extensive networking opportunities. Throughout the Forum, delegates will be mentored by influential global leaders, including ministers, UN officials, and renowned advocates for human rights.

Upon completing the forum, delegates will be recognized as IYF Ambassadors, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to drive positive change within their communities and workplaces. Since its inception in 2017, IYF initiatives have played a significant role in advancing global efforts to achieve the SDGs and protect human rights.
