MY World 2030 Asia-Pacific Advocacy Programme in Bangkok, Thailand

The MY World 2030 Asia-Pacific Advocacy Programme is a series of comprehensive advocacy activities led by the UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub, UNV Asia-Pacific and UN SDG Action Campaign aiming to advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote citizen engagement and data collection activities among young people across the Asia-Pacific region.
