Overview

Japan Youth Summit, organized by the Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB) Foundation, is an international innovation competition and youth summit that aims to inspire emerging leaders to push the limits of their potential, come together, and implement strategies under the main theme of “Pioneering Innovation for Sustainable Futures.” The summit promotes collaboration among diverse young people from various fields to harness their leadership skills in working toward achieving sustainable development goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of goals that serve as a guide for countries worldwide in their development effort, replacing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that concluded in 2015. The SDGs encompass a range of areas, including Education (SDG 4), Economy (SDG 8), Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), as well as Climate Action (SDG 13).
