The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) is a network of programs and institutions, working on practical solutions to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, through education, research, policy analysis, and global cooperation.
“My engagement with the SDSN Youth Students Program opened a door to UNICEF Youth Advocates. I help the programming to ensure meaningful engagement for young people passionate about the SDGs. Through the role, I also work to make sure children’s rights are included in broader youth policy”
