The UNCTAD Youth Network launched the Youth Action Hubs, an initiative that allows youth to engage globally to give their views on matters within UNCTAD’s mandate. Youth discuss and research pre-set topics and use this input to inform UNCTAD’s work. The Youth Action Hubs also offer a space that will inspire youth to take action locally as game changers in their communities and countries.
The UNCTAD Youth Network decides on the topics to be covered by its members. So far, discussions have covered the following issues: youth social entrepreneurship, the new economy, the green economy, cybersecurity, blockchains, smart villages development and gender. Issues that incrementally impact youth such as disruptive technologies, a rapidly changing job market and the force of social-media youth influencers are often brought up by participants. So is skills development in the form of leadership, trust, personal brand building and the right to fail.
Gatherings of the UNCTAD Youth Network often take place in the form of forums, such as the UNCTAD Youth Forums, or side sessions at major events. Youth take part in conversations with leaders, futurists and experts. Some of the most appreciated sessions are the flagship Youth o’Clocks where eminent people engage with youth to share experiences to make youth thrive.
Another important part of the UNCTAD Youth Network's work consists in creating projects in partnership with other United Nations organizations and partners. This includes for instance support to the UN Youth Strategy and the Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth.
