ICN Youth Delegation

Youth play an integral role in the international community’s effort of achieving sustainable development and gender equality. With about 1.8 billion young people worldwide between the ages of 10 and 24, actively engaging youth in decision-making processes enables cross-generational collaboration to truly implement Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17 – inclusive partnerships that collectively seek solutions that benefit our society, the planet, and its inhabitants. Strengthening cross-generational collaboration entails providing mentorship and education of youth, as well as valuing young people’s opinions and creative solutions. More importantly, by further promoting youth participation and engagement, we are creating a momentum of fostering stewardship and sustainable development values amongst the future designers, politicians, engineers, and architects of the world. Investing in the next generation of young leaders will yield positive results – long term and short term – that contribute to the global integration of the SDGs and more robust climate and social justice actions.

ICN Youth Delegation 2025


Each year, the Inter-Council Network (ICN) selects eight youth delegates, representing the eight provincial and regional councils, to engage in key multilateral spaces and conventions where they meet with policymakers and international changemakers. In recent years, delegates have participated in the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

This year, ICN Youth Delegates will be attending the AWID International Forum in Bangkok, where they will have the opportunity to engage with global feminist, women's rights, and gender justice organizations.

The active involvement of youth in international forums is key to building a brighter future. Youth bring their fresh perspectives and innovative thinking, which inspire collaboration and drive change. Their long-term commitment ensures the sustainability of these goals, while their adaptability and resilience help us navigate the complex challenges of our time. By empowering and including young people, we unlock the full potential of the SDGs, bringing us closer to a more equitable, environmentally responsible, and prosperous world for all.
