Driving Action to Achieve the Global Goals

A decade ago, the Global Shapers Community was created with the mission of empowering young people by amplifying their voices around the world and enabling them to self-organize to implement projects for their local communities.

It is vital that young people are represented in important global issues; they are key stakeholders and should be central to solution-building, policy-making and effecting lasting change.

This global community of young change-makers, aged between 18 and 30, is taking action to improve the state of the world, one local community at a time. Global Shapers are progressing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, that serve as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030.

Now, more than ever, we need their energy and vision to tackle the formidable, but not insurmountable, challenges ahead.
