The Mary Ward Centre, as a contributor to the work of the IBVM-Loreto Generalate NGO to the United Nations, has prepared a series of policy briefs on youth in Canada and the Sustainable Development Goals to coincide with the UN High Level Political Forum taking place July 8-18, 2024.
SDG 17 urges global leaders to Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development. Time is running out to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. It is only with sustained and committed engagement from all sectors of society that we can make progress towards their achievement. Youth, in particular, are significantly impacted by the goals: 90 of the 169 indicators and targets of the SDGs are related to youth. However, youth are not consistently invited to participate in meaningful ways in political and economic processes concerning the SDGs. Read more in our policy brief about the ways youth can be better engaged in the SDGs.
