Logo for International Youth Day 2024. Bold text in shades of pink and orange reads, “International Youth Day 2024: Localizing the SDGs” with smaller red text on the left and right.

About: International Youth Day is commemorated every year on 12 August to highlight the challenges young people face, celebrate their contributions to society, and promote their meaningful engagement in building a better future.

Theme: The theme of International Youth Day 2025 is Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond”. Localizing the SDGs refers to the process of adapting and implementing the global goals within specific local contexts, aligning them with community needs while maintaining consistency with national and international commitments. This approach is vital to ensure that development is inclusive, participatory, and sustainable. When young people are empowered to engage in this process, they become catalysts for innovation and resilience in their communities.
