Youth Dialogue: Pathway of the Future for Sustainable Jeju

“There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.”
- Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development -

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet with 17 sustainable development goals, now and into the future.
In July 2022, South Korea enacted the Basic Act on Sustainable Development. The law aims to achieve sustainable development by harmonizing and balancing the economic, social, and environmental aspects so that the present and future generations can have a better quality of life and for the state and localities to realize the sustainable development of society. Jeju island has announced relevant ordinances and will establish the basic plan for sustainable development.
Young people are the link between the present and future generations and the most significant stakeholders in sustainable development. Thus, the role of young people is essential to make a sustainable future. Through this forum, we would like to explore plans for sustainable peace and prosperity of Jeju, South Korea, and humanity by listening to the youth.
