Young people are at the forefront of change worldwide. From climate justice to digital inclusion, young people are organizing, innovating and leading real solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges.
This International Youth Day, 12 August 2025, the theme is Local Youth Action for the SDGs. This is a call to action for governments, institutions and businesses to recognize and support young people’s leadership – not just in principle, but in practice.
One powerful example is the Global Shapers Community, a network of 10,000 young people, aged under 30, organized across 500 cities in 150 countries and territories, supported by the World Economic Forum and its diverse partners.
