Zheng Haoran, program lead of adolescents and youth at the United Nations Population Fund China

The United Nations believes that youth not only benefit from sustainable development but can also assist in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and drive future reforms in the sector. Therefore, the UN includes the voices of youth and cooperates closely with them in the execution, planning and evaluation of SDGs. At the national level, more policies targeted at youth need to be developed and implemented. More efforts are required to support governments as they integrate SDGs into their national and local strategies.
