🌍 Youth Empowerment Poll Results Are In! 🌍 Thank you to all the youth and educators around the globe who shared their voices in our recent poll on Youth Empowerment and the SDGs. Here’s what we’ve learned: 🔹 Biggest Barriers: Lack of access to education (117) and limited representation in decision-making (112) are seen as the largest obstacles to empowering youth globally. 🔹 Feeling Empowered: While 60 feel very empowered to make a difference, most (99) feel somewhat empowered, highlighting a need for even more support and resources. 🔹 Top Focus for Youth Action: Quality Education (SDG 4) led with 125 responses, followed by Climate Action (SDG 13) at 91 votes, indicating the high importance of accessible education and a sustainable future. 🔹 Essential Skills for Change: Critical thinking (117), communication (110), and leadership (107) came out as the top skills youth believe they need to make impactful changes. This poll sheds light on the need for more inclusive educational and decision-making opportunities— along with skill-building support for youth empowerment. Together, let’s work to address these insights and build a more just, educated, and sustainable world! ✨ Follow the link to watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/gHxdDmwt This is a social media take-over by #YRE Youth Alya Khairina, Green Growth Asia Foundation, and Iphendule Xhakana, WESSA (Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa). #OurVoiceOurPower #YouthTakeover #YouthEmpowerment #UNAtYourDoorstep #SDGGoals #GlobalVoices #YouthVoices ✨Foundation for Environmental Education ✨Young Reporters for the Environment Alumni ✨Compass Education ✨UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network ✨Global Schools Program ✨UN Youth Affairs ✨The SDG Academy ✨Globe From Home Ltd ✨SDGs Today ✨UNESCO ✨Hearst ✨Labhya
