Young People Should Care About The Financing for Development Agenda

Despite the UN’s acknowledgment of the ‘important role of young people in sustainable development, the FfD agenda has historically sidelined youth voices. Youth-led or youth-focused sessions have made up less than 5% of official programming at past conferences. When included, youth participation has often been symbolic and limited to side events with little to no connection to outcome documents or intergovernmental negotiations. Intergenerational equity is frequently mentioned but rarely integrated as a core financing principle. This is not just exclusion, it’s a missed opportunity. The world cannot achieve the SDGs without unlocking the financing potential of its youngest and most dynamic demographic.
