Document 216 EX/8 (Summary) presents UNESCO’s youth programme and an updated concept for the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum (2023), building on the 12th Forum (2021). It highlights youth impacted by multiple crises (mental health, unemployment/NEET, climate anxiety) and outlines four youth programme workstreams (knowledge brokering, policy solutions, youth-led action, capacity building), including mechanisms like the Global Youth Grant Scheme. The 13th Forum focuses on the social impact of climate change and an equitable climate transition, and details format, participant selection (18–35), resource mobilization, and presentation of conclusions to the General Conference.
