The role of Youth in Advancing the Sustainable Development Goals

The goal of the sustainable development goals is to create a better world. There are 17 sustainable goals related to national development, and today's young may be able to accomplish them for a better world tomorrow. Similarly, the younger generation of today will carry on the tradition for the years to come. Without affecting any other definition by Member States, youth are defined by the United Nations as individuals between the ages of 15 and 24. The overall outcome was influenced by the contributions made by young people to the process that resulted in the establishment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They were referred to as "torchbearers of the sustainable development agenda through 2030" by former UN Secretary General Ban-ki Moon. Definitions of youth, sustainable development, a conceptual overview of both, a historical perspective, theories and models related to sustainable development, youth, and what young people can do to support sustainable development will all be covered in this conceptual paper. A self-made model will be presented based on the conceptual overview. Internationally, social work is beginning to pay more attention to youth empowerment in the framework of sustainable development. A key idea in social work is sustainable development, which is an integrated set of global goals for addressing social, economic, and ecological concerns. The profession of social work is based on the person-in-environment, which can be fully realised in protecting both people and the environment. In terms of societal change that is in balance with nature, the eco-social paradigm is frequently explored. This article examines Eco social work discourses in youth empowerment within this framework.
