An Intergenerational Dialogue was held in the ‘Avaza’ National Tourist Zone as part of the Youth Forum. Ways to actively involve young people in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda and the Action Programme for Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC 3) were discussed. This was reported by the state news agency TDH.

Speakers noted the key role of young people in promoting reforms, digital transformation, environmental protection and the fight against climate change. It was emphasised that sustainable development is impossible without intergenerational cooperation, combining the experience of older generations with the innovative potential of young people.

Thematic sessions discussed issues of access to education, support for ‘green’ initiatives, climate finance, and the creation of conditions for the implementation of youth start-ups. Successful examples of digital and environmental projects implemented by young people from LLDC countries were presented.

Special attention was paid to the role of international organisations in supporting youth initiatives and the importance of investing in education, science and technology.

Representatives of Turkmenistan spoke about national efforts in the field of environmental protection and youth support. The importance of training highly qualified personnel and introducing innovations in key industries was emphasised.

The Intergenerational Dialogue became a platform for exchanging views and strengthening partnerships for a sustainable and inclusive future for landlocked countries.
