At a time of shrinking resources, rising inequalities and growing pressure on sexual and reproductive health and rights, accelerating action for adolescent health and well-being has never been more urgent. Convened during the 79th World Health Assembly, this high-level dialogue brings together governments, multilateral agencies, youth leaders, civil society and global health partners to examine the latest evidence, explore practical solutions and strengthen commitments to adolescents worldwide. Discussions focus on the health, rights and well-being of the world’s 1.3 billion adolescents, including mental health, gender-based violence, digital harm, access to essential health services and the importance of sustained investment and accountability. The event also highlights the need to translate global guidance and evidence into effective country-level policies, programmes and financing that protect and empower adolescents in a changing world.
