The ECOSOC Youth Forum was held from April 14 to 16, 2026, at UN Headquarters in New York. The forum highlights and puts emphasis on advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through youth-led innovative actions on key SDGs like clean water, affordable energy, industry innovation, sustainable cities, and partnerships.

The newsletter summarizes daily themes, key messages on youth involvement and challenges like mental health and digital safety, and personal reflections from participants, including a young Catholic voice from the UN-NGO office.
