Theme of IYD 2024

The United Nations states that “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development” is this year’s theme for the 2024 celebration. This theme emphasizes the significance of digitalization in this day and age of technology.

We only need to click these days to get anything we want, so it is critical to use this privilege sustainably. The more clicks, the more attention a site or post gets in the digital world.

Apart from this, the progressive introduction of AI into almost every aspect of life is something we can’t deny. Undoubtedly, youths have been leading this niche at the forefront. The youths are responsible for creating innovation that improves livelihood.

This year’s theme encourages youth to use digital technology in positive ways. They may bring about more positive change, evolving the world into a sustainable environment for livelihood.
