Abstract
Youth initiatives supported by the Council of the Baltic Sea States should contribute to the growing body of literature on youth engagement in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. ReGeneration 2030 and the Baltic Sea Youth Platform are presented to highlight future avenues for the development of these initiatives and what research approaches would help to acquire a more structured insight not only about the hypothetical potential of these initiatives but also the delivered value-added. These findings would help the United Nations to keep apace with the mindsets of younger generations which are underrepresented among the organisation’s staff. Likewise, youth deserves to be heard due to the socio-economic challenges it faces not only in the Global South but also in the Global North.
