RCE SDG Youth Challenge 2021

The aim of the SDG Youth Challenge is to empowers young leaders to have a voice while gaining valuable experience in learning to be the drivers of change in their communities, mobilizing the SDGs using a peer-peer learning model (i.e. youth to youth). The Challenge gives a space for youth people to be active participants in creating the sustainable future they want, rather than passive participants in program (typical model of youth engagement). This ongoing initative has been running since 2018, and in 2021 youth-led projects looked at SDG 11 Sustainable Cities, SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 15 Life on Land. All projects are underpinned by cross-cutting themes of SDG 4 and SDG 17.
