Organized in collaboration with UN University Centre for Policy Research, the Global Governance Innovation Network, Coalition for the UN We Need, and Global Women Leaders: Voices for change and Inclusion, and aimed to support the work of the High-Level Advisory Board, the Youth Futures Series is an initiative to champion the written contributions of young researchers, activists, and writers on thematic areas, or operational tracks, of the Summit of the Future. Importantly, the YFS hopes to begin to elevate youth voices beyond global youth-focused agendas, to encourage the contribution of youth perspectives across other thematic areas such as global finance, the environment, peace and security, and digital cooperation.

What are we looking for in papers?

The purpose of this initiative is to champion recommendations from young authors on concrete global governance and multilateral reform proposals. This does not mean proposals on generic youth engagement or papers that critique current structures. Rather, the Youth Futures series is looking for papers that outline 1-2 specific reform proposals along the outlined themes and/or tracks towards the Summit of the Future.

To engage with this initiative:

  1. Please share 1-5 page articles with details of your name, organization, and title via email to Nudhara Yusuf ([email protected]).
  2. Young authors (aged 16-30) may share pre-published pieces, or papers written for this purpose but must be well researched and within the scope of the main themes for the two rounds of calls for papers.
  3. We have now launched round 2 on the call for papers by 24 February 2023. For details see the note attached below 👇🏼
