Young Members of Parliament from across the world will map out how they will help to deliver on the new generation of development goals at a global conference next week.
The IPU Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians taking place in the Zambian capital, Lusaka, on 16-17 March, aims to engage young MPs at the forefront of efforts to ensure the successful implementation of the ground-breaking Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agreed by world leaders in 2015. The SDGs commit nations to a series of ambitious targets on reducing inequalities, sustainable economic growth, climate action as well as the eradication of extreme hunger and poverty by 2030.
Under the theme Agenda 2030: Youth leading the way, leaving no one behind, the IPU conference will provide input on enhancing youth political representation and participation. Discussions will be informed by a new IPU report to be launched at the conference on levels of youth representation in parliament globally.
