Under the 2022 theme “Healthy Diets. Healthy Planet.”, the Global Youth Forum aims to:

  • Find solutions for food security and strengthened agrifood resilience;
  • Highlight the connections between dietary and planetary health;
  • Co-identify and share bold, actionable solutions to minimize and mitigate climate change impacts in our lifetime; and
  • Simultaneously increase global access to safe and nutritious food and healthy diets.

The Youth Forum will do this through (i) a global youth assembly for food policy, (ii) an innovation lab for young entrepreneurs and scientists, (iii) a food education symposium and school assembly, and (iv) motivational and cultural outreach and engagement activities. It will include youth from all spheres of society and all corners of the world, including marginalized youth such as Indigenous Youth and young farmers from least developed countries.
