🌍What happens when young people aren't simply invited into the conversation—but given space to shape it?

In 2025, UNRISD launched the International Forum We, the Youth (IFWY), our first-ever global youth-led policy forum.

Across 6 regional dialogues, 300 youth representatives came together to deliberate on shared global challenges and co-create recommendations for systemic transformation.

The result: 6 regional declarations, the Eunpyeong Declaration with 9 global priorities, 48 elected Youth Navigators from 29 countries—and a community reaching more than 26,000 subscribers across 169 countries.

From the UN World Summit for Social Development to COP30, youth priorities travelled from dialogue into global policy spaces.

Because transforming policy requires a mandate from the future.

This , we celebrate the young people who are not waiting for the future to arrive—they are helping shape it. ✊🏽

🌿 3 facts about Indigenous Peoples you may not know.

Indigenous Peoples represent just 6.2% of the global population, yet they are three times more likely to live in extreme poverty than non-Indigenous groups due to historical injustices.

But there’s more to the story.

This International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we highlight how Indigenous rights, knowledge and leadership are essential to building more just and sustainable societies.

From securing collective land rights and upholding Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) to recognizing Indigenous knowledge systems, these are not only matters of justice—they are key to addressing today's social and environmental challenges.
