Eco Diversified International, a leading environmental organization dedicated to fostering sustainable livelihoods and advancing climate change education, is excited to unveil its upcoming event titled "Empowering Youth for SDGs: Shaping Tomorrow, Today."
This transformative initiative is designed to harness the vibrant energy and innovative thinking of young individuals, propelling them closer to realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2050. The event will take place on August 18, 2023, at the prestigious Cultural Center in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The world is at a crucial juncture in the pursuit of a sustainable future. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, outlines 17 interconnected SDGs to address pressing global challenges. As we approach the midway point, it becomes imperative to engage the next generation in meaningful conversations about their role in achieving these goals.
The "Youth Involvement in Actualization of the SDGs" event is designed to be a dynamic platform where young individuals will come together to learn, discuss, and strategize how they can contribute to meeting the SDGs by 2050. Through inspiring talks, interactive sessions, and workshops, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the targets set by the SDGs and how they can actively drive change in their communities.
We are proud to share that this event has garnered immense support from various quarters. We have partnered with numerous youth-led organizations, community groups, and government agencies that share our vision for a sustainable future. Their involvement underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration and demonstrates a collective commitment to nurturing the potential of young change-makers.
"We believe that the future belongs to the youth, and it's our responsibility to equip them with the knowledge and tools to steer our world towards a more sustainable path," said Esther Oluwatoyin, President of Eco Diversified Int’l and "By fostering dialogue and encouraging action, we aim to create a ripple effect that will lead to tangible advancements in the journey to achieve the SDGs."
As we look towards the event, we invite media representatives, influencers, policymakers, and stakeholders to join us in amplifying the message of youth empowerment and the importance of achieving the SDGs. By uniting our efforts, we can catalyze change, inspire innovation, and build a brighter future for generations to come.
