Our aim is to localize SDSN Youth’s global vision to empower youth to create sustainable solutions together with actors from Northern Europe. In 2012, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) to mobilise global scientific and technological expertise to promote practical problem solving for sustainable development, including the design an
d implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at local, national and global scales. In 2015, the SDSN launched its official youth initiative (SDSN Youth) to empower youth globally to create sustainable development solutions. SDSN Youth educates young people about the challenges of sustainable development and creates opportunities for them to use their creativity and knowledge to pioneer innovative solutions for the SDGs. In addition, SDSN Youth creates platforms for young people to connect, collaborate and integrate their ideas and perspectives into national and regional pathways for implementation of the SDGs. Educate young people about the SDGs and create pathways for achieving them.
2. Connect young people globally to exchange ideas, share experiences and collaborate to achieve the SDGs.
3. Support young people in the creation and scaling of innovative solutions for the SDGs. SDSN Youth in Northern Europe is a part of the SDSN Northern Europe centre based in Gothenburg, Sweden. SDSN Northern Europe is an action-oriented network focusing on mobilizing Nordic scientific and technological expertise to solve problems and create a more sustainable society. The network links knowledge to action for society’s achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is achieved in cooperation with business, policymakers and civil society and by being an active network to identify, describe, visualize and scale-up sustainable solutions nationally, regionally and globally.
