In 2025, as Malaysia assumes the Chairmanship of ASEAN, we are proud to elevate the Youth Sustainability Forum to a regional platform, rebranding it as the ASEAN Youth Sustainability Forum 2025. Held in Kuching, Sarawak—a city celebrated for its cultural diversity and ecological significance—this forum will unite youth leaders from across the ASEAN region to champion the theme "ASEAN Youth for Inclusivity and Sustainability."

This 3rd edition stands as a testament to the success of our previous forums in 2023 and 2024, which involved and inspired youth from all ASEAN nations. Over the past two years, we witnessed the transformative power of youth- driven initiatives and cross-border collaboration, culminating in meaningful contributions to regional sustainability efforts. The 2025 forum builds on this legacy, expanding its scope and ambition to align with Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship and the shared vision. see more
