International Youth Day  2024

The official theme for International Youth Day 2024 is “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development”.

Digitalization is revolutionizing our world, creating vast opportunities to accelerate sustainable development. Technologies like mobile devices, digital services, and artificial intelligence play a crucial role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data generated from digital interactions enables evidence-based decision-making, significantly impacting economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Digital technologies and data contribute to about 70% of the 169 SDG targets and have the potential to reduce the cost of achieving these goals by up to $55 trillion.
