Sustainable Development

While the pandemic has shown that borders are permeable and somewhat invisible, it has also emphasized that the challenges and solutions are incredibly interconnected. Join this special program in recognition of International Youth Day (August 12) to hear from Dustin Liu, the outgoing UNA-USA Youth Observer to the United Nations, and to meet the 10th UNA-USA Youth Observer to the United Nations, as they discuss the U.S. and UN’s priorities from the past year and moving forward. To amplify the intersectional nature of the priorities of youth around the world, representatives from UN agencies and USAID will be invited to join the discussion. Takeaways will include priorities for the next year and specific opportunities for youth in America to take action and become involved in addressing global issues.
