How can people-centered justices achieve SDG 16.3?

This HagueTalks event will put a spotlight on impactful approaches to achieving justice for all in line with SDG 16.3. The SDG Summit 2023 is the midway point of the SDGs and this key event – to be held in the lead up to the HLPF and the SDG Summit – intends to highlight the importance of people-centered justice in achieving the promise of equal access to justice for all. It will be an intergenerational dialogue between established justice leaders and young, emerging, justice leaders.

A space for young change makers to exchange ideas with leaders of the justice sector, learn from their experience and share their own perspective, making a case for young people to be at the heart of the 2030 Agenda as drivers of change and progress.

What can young people do to make an impactful contribution to justice, the criminal justice system and/or the use of data, on the global stage? What are examples of impactful and innovative approaches to justice and how can these be replicated and scaled? How can we collectively make a case for the acceleration of the attainment of SDG 16.3 between now and 2030?
