2023 International Youth Day: Green Skills for Youth - Towards a sustainable world

In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the recommendation by the World Conference of Ministers of Youth (Lisbon, 8-12 August 1998) that 12 August be declared International Youth Day (A/RES/54/120). Over the last two decades of International Youth Day (IYD) celebrations, several innovative and timely themes have been explored, including mental health, intergenerational solidarity, safe spaces for youth, and civic engagement.
