To celebrate International Youth Day 2026 and launch a new publication, UNU-IAS and the Regional Youth Coordinators (RYCs) of the Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (RCEs) will co-host a webinar. Titled Youth in Charge: RCE Leaders Shaping Sustainable Societies, the book spotlights RCE initiatives that advance meaningful youth engagement and leadership. It features active youth participation in project design and implementation, and draws from diverse experiences of youth advancing sustainability in RCEs around the world.

The webinar will feature a panel discussion with the RCE RYCs to discuss and reflect on the issues of youth participation, action and leadership for sustainable development.
