A United Nations Foundation Initiative supporting young people as designers of the future.
About us
Our Future Agenda is an initiative of the UN Foundation to support young people to shape the global policy agenda. It aims to deliver impact for: – The next generation - young people under 30 who make up half the world’s population. – Future generations - the 10.9 billion people yet to be born this century. The UN Secretary-General asked us to host a group of Next Generation Fellows to contribute to Our Common Agenda, his vision for the future of international cooperation. The Fellows set their own vision, ideas, and proposals in a report entitled Our Future Agenda. Building on this foundation, we are recruiting a new cohort of young changemakers to serve as Next Generation Fellows. We also worked with the world’s leading youth-led and focused organizations to launch Unlock the Future as a high-ambition coalition with and for young people. At a time of growing crisis and as young people increasingly demand change, we will: – Support the Next Generation Fellows to lead and shape the agenda, tackle priority issues and challenges, and engage other young leaders, activists, and thinkers from around the world. – Build the Unlock the Future coalition as a forum for political and strategic alignment, for action and for advocacy, and for delivering more strategic financing to young changemakers. – Provide a platform for young people to take intergenerational action to design the future. We are tackling six thematic priorities: transforming education; jobs and economic opportunities; climate and sustainability; justice and inclusion; future generations; and gender equality. Cross-cutting priorities include financing young changemakers and strengthening the role of young people in the United Nations.

We're working on something special over at the Our Future Agenda Engine Room... Over the past few months, five action groups have conducted extensive interviews with experts far and wide, seeking to design an ambitious global learning agenda capable of guiding us to the year 2100 and beyond. Together with the Inclusive Prosperity Action Group, I had the privilege of interviewing experts pushing the boundaries of our growth agenda. Among them Sinead Bovell, global tech and AI analyst and founder of WAYE, Arame Gueye Sène of Social Change Factory expanding informal education in West Africa, and Miriam Palacios of Fundación A Mano Manaba empowering excluded women in coastal Ecuador. Their insights and stories painted a picture of a future where individuals from various backgrounds and geographies can equally benefit from economic growth, new technologies, and the advantages of globalization. Among the initial insights : 🖊 We need commitment to a skills-first approach to education and hiring at all levels, prioritizing lifelong learning programs, to burst the current bubble of unsustainable higher education systems that front-load training in young adulthood for a privileged few 🖊 Generative AI has huge potential to foster economic equality and resource redistribution by boosting the productivity and value of lower-skilled workers relative to high-skilled workers in key sectors. Developing countries must act quickly to enshrine AI as a fundamental skill from primary school, and receive international support to build their own AI infrastructure, trained on their own knowledge and for their own needs. 🖊 We must systematically upgrade our political and financial frameworks to prioritize equality and redistribution, and design implementation plans to reach the furthest behind first (RFBF). Slow progress on SDG 1 mandates a no business as usual approach to leave no one behind, through rethinking financial structures and realizing leading ideas of progressive taxation, minimum wage reforms, expanded social protection and public services, and promoting financial inclusion. Stay tuned for the next phases of this effort, as we continue to hone in on the key trends, questions, and issue areas to prepare us for 2100!
