ASIA-PACIFIC
FORUM ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (APFSD)

Asia-Pacific Forum on
Sustainable Development (APFSD)

With the support of YECAP and partners, young people across the Asia-Pacific have actively shaped discussions at the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) since 2023. Through youth-led side events and workshops, they have championed climate governance, green economy transitions, and the right to safe water in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring their voices drive regional policies and solutions. By fostering collaboration with UN agencies and civil society, we continue to empower youth to lead the movement toward a more sustainable and just future.

The Youth Empowerment in Climate Action Platform (YECAP) was established by UNDP in Asia and the Pacific in collaboration with UNFCCC RCC Asia and the Pacific, UNICEF East Asia and the Pacific, UNICEF South Asia, British Council, YOUNGO, Movers Programme, and 2030 Youth Force in response to young people across the region calling for urgent action on the climate agenda. Youth in all their diverse identities and experiences advance their climate journeys with the support from YECAP to meaningfully engage in action, advocacy, and acceleration of the movement towards a just climate future.
