Forthcoming policy developments
Youth remain an important priority area for Danish development cooperation, and Denmark continues to have many initiatives aimed at creating development with and by young people, including youth delegates, the minister's international youth panel, youth panels at embassies, and youth as a cross-cutting focus area in strategic frameworks and country programs.
An important element to further strengthen the youth agenda is increased knowledge sharing and exchange of experience on Danish youth initiatives across offices and embassies as well as with like-minded countries.
Ongoing debates
In 2022, the war in Ukraine constitutes yet another hotly debated topic, in particular in relation to Danish refugee policies.
Climate change and green transition are still high on young people’s agendas. During the General election in autumn 2022, climate change was the top priority among young people.
