????????????????????2030

Launched by the UN Secretary-General in September 2018, the Youth2030 UN Youth Strategy acknowledges the pivotal role of young people in fostering sustainable, inclusive and peaceful societies globally, as well as the importance of strengthening meaningful youth engagement in policymaking and decision-making processes, including at the UN. The strategy envisions a world where every young person's human rights are realized, empowering them to reach their full potential and acknowledging their resilience and positive contributions as agents of change. Aligned to the UN¡¯s reform processes, the Youth2030 UN Youth Strategy integrates the key principles of coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, accountability and transparency to ensure a coordinated and holistic approach to the UN¡¯s work on youth and on reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Since its inception, the Youth2030 UN Youth Strategy has gained significant traction within the UN System, advancing across its five priority and four foundational areas. Currently, it is being implemented by 55 UN entities and 132 UN Country Teams worldwide.

This report presents insights from the first interim review of Youth2030, the United Nations System-wide Youth Strategy. Launched nearly six years into its implementation and in a global context impacted by ongoing crises and emerging opportunities, Youth2030: First Interim Review reflects on achievements, lessons learned, and recommendations for boosting progress towards 2030 in line with the acceleration efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
