Sustainable Peace and Security
Believing that youth are the cornerstone of achieving SDGs, the RCO in Kuwait launched the Young Ambassador initiative to empower the next generation of leaders. The initiative is at its third edition and each edition covered a key topic in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SG priorities: gender equality in the first edition, climate action in the second, and peace and security in the third, that was launched on International Peace Day. The RCO plays a central role in coordinating the program, ensuring young participants gain hands-on experience in diplomacy, leadership, and advocacy. Supported by the UK and Canadian embassies and under the patronage of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Young Ambassadors equips youth with the skills to contribute to SDG-focused international collaboration. During the upcoming GCC presidency of Kuwait, The RCO is looking forward to exploring possibilities to roll out the programme in other countries of the region and beyond, to expand this programme and empower youth everywhere.
