During the session titled "UN Global Targets for Sustainable Development" Ms. Özay underlines the importance of global targets and what young people can do about them.
In all GLB courses across all AGU programs, students engage in interactive studies that increase their awareness of global challenges and encourage them to find solutions to them.

"SDSN Youth’s mission is to empower youth globally, to create sustainable solutions. Our initiatives follow a three-step theory of change - education (awareness), collaboration (communities, connections), and supporting innovation; tackling key domain areas such as schools, university campuses, cities, and entrepreneurship."
Goals
Covering six continents, the SDSN Networks program has now gathered the knowledge and training capacity of 800 member institutions into a network.
