Pull up: Change Di Riddim

This Declaration contains the priorities and recommendations of youth who participated in the third meeting of the UNCTAD Youth Forum, held with remote participation from 16th to 18th September 2021, in the lead-up to the fifteenth session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XV).

UNCTAD Youth Forum with over 300 participants from over 80 countries, provided a global view of the tools needed to achieve a sustainable recovery in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in terms of trade and development.

Youth participants selected five topics they deemed to be the most crucial to young people to address at this point in time, namely, inclusive social and economic development, new economies, climate action, inclusive and equitable learning, and youth civic participation. Under each of these areas, suggestions and policy recommendations are included to be presented to Member States at UNCTAD XV.
