The Future We Build
2100 Learning Agenda
The world is at a crucial moment, where the decisions we make now will shape the future for generations. The global landscape is changing rapidly, with young people and young countries at the heart of our shared future, thanks to shifting demographics.
Developed as a key output of the Engine Room for the Future, a collaborative platform established by the Unlock the Future coalition and the United Nations Foundation. This Learning Agenda is our guidebook towards turning our dreams for a better future turns into a guaranteed reality for those who will be young in the twenty-first century. It explains the value of working with and for young people for a better present and optimal future, how to be kind to the planet, and how to make sure that no one is ever left behind.

Unlocking the Power of Next and Future Generations
Developed by the Unlock the Future coalition, this paper presents a 5-year Action Plan designed to empower all young people, particularly the most marginalized and underserved, to help them unlock the full potential of their future.
The paper draws from the knowledge of young changemakers and experts, inspiring a 5-year movement for a 2100 Roadmap. This Roadmap will serve as a springboard to tackle current and future challenges through global cooperation. It positions the Summit of the Future in 2024 as a stepping stone to reflect on past lessons and focus on empowering next and future generations. We aspire to create a world where every young person can unleash their potential, reaching the furthest behind first.
Together, we can rally the necessary resources, financing, and partners for change, fostering collective resilience and cooperation that is spearheaded by young people across the world. Through the Unlock the Future Declaration II, we extend an open invitation for you to join us in this vital endeavor of building a better, more equitable world for young people everywhere.
The Unlock Declaration II
Igniting SDG Action for Next and Future Generations
In 2015, world leaders set a bold vision, the 2030 Agenda with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global plan designed to create a future where humanity and our planet coexist in harmony. However, the journey has been arduous, with only 15% of these goals currently on track.
We, the Unlock the Future coalition, are steadfast in our mission to expedite progress towards these goals, leveraging young people’s potential, talent, and leadership, especially from young countries predominantly in Asia and Africa – where over 50% of the population is under 30 – to deliver impact for next and future generations.
Together we represent the world’s largest youth-focused organizations with a global reach of nearly one billion people.
