The summit brought together young leaders from around the world to discuss how to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through human-centric leadership and innovative thinking.
The summit, primarily featuring young students from India, focused on several key points for discussion:
-
Role of Young Leaders: The summit recognized that youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also the change-makers of today. 1M1B empowers a million change-makers to create positive change in a billion lives.
-
Consensus Among Global Young Leaders: Leaders from around the world discussed how to achieve the 2030 agenda, aiming to create a world without poverty or at least without extreme poverty. Young leaders are expected to make significant contributions.
-
Inspiration from Young Indian Leaders: Young leaders from India drew inspiration from their focus on human-centric leadership and the promotion of the SDGs. The United Nations and other organizations support and empower young people in India to contribute to global narratives of hope, resilience, and innovation.
-
Challenges in Inspiring Global Youth: How to motivate millions of young people to go beyond themselves and take action for their communities? Young innovators must unite to address global challenges and use technology to achieve the 2030 agenda of eliminating extreme poverty, hunger, and inequality, as we are only 15% of the way to reaching our goals.
-
Power and Passion of Youth: Every individual, especially the youth, possesses inherent power. They need to combine this power with their passion, elevating it to a new level to address the digital divide and promote digital citizenship. Young leaders discussed the impact of COVID-19 and conflicts on the world, as well as their achievements in advancing the SDGs at the 7th 1M1B Activate Impact Summit at the UN ECOSOC.
