Scheduled to take place from 15 to 17 April at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the 2025 ECOSOC Youth Forum serves as a premier global platform bringing together young leaders, government representatives, experts, and key stakeholders. Participants will address critical issues—from poverty eradication and digital inclusion to climate action and the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Aligned with the United Nations’ promise to “leave no one behind,” the Forum empowers youth voices to influence multilateral policy and champion innovative strategies for a more resilient and equitable world.
“Young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow; we are the changemakers of today,” said Rohan Roger. “I am deeply honored to join this dynamic assembly, where I look forward to sharing insights on AI, digital innovation, and sustainable technology while engaging with inspiring peers and global decision-makers. It is through collective fresh perspectives, empathy, and a collective resolve that we will forge pathways to a better world. Emergent tech like AI has the potential to transform our greatest challenges into engines of progress.”
Currently serving as CTO for a portfolio of medium- to enterprise-level businesses at Synoptek, LLC, Mr. Roger has spearheaded initiatives aimed at advancing technological innovation and strategic growth across global markets. Drawing upon his extensive background in technology and digital strategy, he will address member nations and delegates on the emerging field of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on youth. In doing so, he will contribute to discussions on harnessing digital breakthroughs for social impact and designing inclusive policy frameworks—further emphasizing the essential role technology plays in overcoming systemic challenges and driving transformative change worldwide.
Convened under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, the ECOSOC Youth Forum is widely recognized for its results-oriented approach. By uniting diverse perspectives and expertise, the Forum pursues groundbreaking strategies to accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), spotlighting youth participation as a catalyst for multilateral collaboration.
