Every year on August 12, the world celebrates International Youth Day to raise awareness about the challenges and problems young people face worldwide. This year's theme, "Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health," will highlight that the success of such a global effort will not be achieved without the meaningful participation of young people.
On this year’s International Youth Day, United Nations is organizing the #YouthLead Innovation Festival, which will take place on August 12-13, 2021. It is a celebration of innovative youth-led solutions for the achievement of the SDGs and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. To know more about the festival, visit here.
