1M2030 (www.1m2030.org) was created by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the Global Challenges Forum Foundation (GCF). It is a movement for youth, by youth.

As part of COVID-19 related efforts, 1M2030 is hosting an online event entitled “COVID-19 and Global Youth Leadership” on 14 May. It will provide a platform for young speakers to present their projects in front of a large audience, and to discuss the way ahead with senior experts.

More information can be found at the registration link: www.1m2030.org/events/webinar. As a follow-up to this event, UNITAR aims to organize a UN Youth Hackathon on COVID-19 and what’s next (exact scope TBD).
