Synopsis (short abstract) Within the framework of the World Food Forum (WFF), the Global Youth Action initiative harnesses the passion and power of youth, and incites positive action for agrifood systems through youth empowerment. It acts as a catalytic movement and driver of youth engagement in agrifood governance, and serves as a knowledge centre and innovation lab, fostering and inspiring youth-led solutions. It thus actively contributes to the implementation of the United Nations Youth 2030 Strategy and enhances youth engagement in the follow-up to the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit.In 2024, the WFF Global Youth Action initiative entered its fourth year, embarking on a transformative journey towards a world with good food for all, for today and tomorrow. Throughout the year, it remained steadfast in its mission to empower young people to drive transformation within agrifood systems and address climate challenges at both local and global scales. Through expanded multigenerational initiatives, deeper collaborations and greater inclusivity, the WFF Global Youth Action initiative strove to create lasting impact in the journey towards a more sustainable and equitable food future for all.
