Preparatory Youth Conference UNFSS +4

May 14, 2025 - May 15, 2025
Online & On location
Event by United Nations Food System Coordination Hub
Food systems are inherently complex – unpredictable, dynamic, and unique to every country. To tackle these challenges, the UN Food Systems Youth Leadership Program (YLP), funded by the German government, empowers young leaders to tackle policy fragmentation and drive transformative change. This conference will amplify youth voices, strengthen global partnerships, and inspire the next wave of food systems changemakers.
Date: 15-16 May 2025
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Registration: Pre-register here
The Youth Conference will take place over two days in Bangkok, Thailand, two months before the UNFSS+4 Stocktaking Moment. It will be a hybrid event, allowing both in-person and online participation to ensure inclusivity.
The conference will bring together young leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and practitioners to foster intergenerational partnerships. Participants will discuss food systems transformation, engage with decision-makers, learn from success stories, and develop actionable recommendations for the UNFSS+4 Stocktake.
Why attend?
- Connect with young leaders, policymakers, and experts.
- Collaborate on actionable strategies for sustainable food systems.
- Contribute to the UNFSS+4 Stocktake.
Please note: In addition to presenting the outcome document and policy recommendations at the UNFSS+4, the work from the Youth Conference and experience from UNFSS+4 will also be brought forward into the 5th WFF flagship event during the week of 13-17 October 2025. Here, the results will be shared, and interactive youth assembly sessions will be held to continue to build the path forward, as well as milestones in the following two years coinciding with key moments, including COP30, the following WFF flagship events, and UNFSS+6.
