Adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights: advancing the agenda for a sustainable future
Today’s 1.3 billion adolescents are not only the largest age group but also the most diverse the world has ever seen. They face considerable challenges to their sexual and reproductive health and rights and progress is never fast enough.
As governments meet at the Summit of the Future to strengthen global cooperation, this high-level event invites policy makers, researchers and practitioners into conversation with adolescents and youth to keep progress on adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights high on the global agenda, as highlighted by over 1.6 million adolescents and youth in the Agenda for Action for Adolescents launched during the Global Forum for Adolescents.
Featuring:
- Active and inclusive youth engagement – policies and programs that are responsive to their needs.
- High-Level Political Dialogue – forward-looking government actions, with a focus on renewed commitments to the ICPD agenda.
- Technical insights – latest evidence on health trends, gender transformative interventions, the role of laws and policies, and advances in research methods.
Outputs from this event will help operationalize and localize implementation of the Declaration on Future Generations, an annex to the Pact for the Future and its commitment to the inclusion of young people at all levels.
