The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an opportunity to galvanize action aimed at promoting greater inclusion of youth in all spheres. This roadmap recognizes in several of its goals the centrality of the full incorporation of youth as a necessary condition to move towards more inclusive societies, in which no one is left behind, on a path to sustainable development. However, youth in the Caribbean face many challenges that need to be addressed as precursors to creating environments that enable them to reach their maximum potential to contribute to the achievement of SDGs by 2030, thereby leaving a legacy for future youth generations.

The main goal of the Caribbean Youth Dialogues is to collect regional youth perspectives about the main discussion topics at this year’s ECOSOC Youth Forum which will focus on a theme that aligns with the 2026 High-level Political Forum (HLPF) on “Transformative, equitable, innovative, and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for a sustainable future for all.” The dialogues will take place on zoom over the course of two evenings. The programme consists of several panels, in which various Caribbean themes are examined via discussions and presentations with youth representatives and experts.
