Youth engaged
The Youth, Peace and Security agenda is a global movement anchored in UN Security Council Resolution 2250 (2015), with Resolutions 2419 (2018) and 2535 (2020). This network connects youth-led peacebuilding in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East with multilateral partners, including European Union external action and Search for Common Ground.

Now reading: Participation
Members prepare each other for local councils, regional forums, and international meetings. The point is to stay in the process after the communiqué: drafting language, following budgets, and asking what changed.
Asia-Pacific is the focus of this page. The same network keeps hubs in Europe, Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean, with the Middle East linked through the Asia hub.

Asia-Pacific focus, with Middle East members in the same hub.
This hub carries the three regional pressures: climate and peace in island states and coastal regions, digital safety, and room for youth with disabilities in any process the network touches. It is the home base of this site.

Three pressures show up together in island states, coastal cities, and dense urban networks: a heating climate, a harsher internet, and peace tables that still leave disabled youth outside.
Displacement, saltwater, and disaster risk are already changing who can stay, who mediates, and who is blamed. Youth programmes in vulnerable island states and coastal regions treat climate action and peacebuilding as one piece of work.
Coastal and island members treat climate risk as a peace issue.
Youth with disabilities are peace actors, not a side session. The network asks hosts to plan step-free rooms, accessible documents, sign interpretation, and extra time before the agenda is finished — not after the invitations go out.
Inclusion is planned into the meeting, not added at the door.
Online hate, disinformation, and digital violence travel faster than a community meeting. Members run practical labs on cyber safety and equitable access so more young people can organise without being pushed offline.
Community media rooms are part of the protection toolkit.
Short texts you can download or print. They are plain-language starting points for members, not official UN documents.
