Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) Youth Forum 2027

Brief Description

The Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) Youth Forum 2027 serves as a vital intergovernmental platform designed to ensure that the voices and realities of adolescents and young people actively shape regional sustainable development agendas. Operating under the broader Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development, the convening brings together United Nations system bodies, Member States, and civil society stakeholders to review progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Insights and outcomes from your participation will directly feed into the ECOSOC Youth Forum and the High-level Political Forum (HLPF) 2027 in New York.

If you are a passionate young leader in the region, this forum gives you a dedicated convening space to address systemic barriers, contribute to the Voluntary National Review process, and help draft regional Youth Calls to Action. You are also invited to submit abstracts covering research, ground-level program implementations, or youth-led initiatives that focus directly on SDGs 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 13, 15, and 17.
