On July 10, 2026, IVECA proudly co-hosted the HLPF Side Event, Humanity at the Center, Global Citizenship, Ethical AI, and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus for Transformative SDG Action, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Korea to the UN.
The event connected global leaders, educators, and youth to explore how ethical AI and cross-sector partnerships can advance the Sustainable Development Goals. Ambassadors and expert panelists shared insights on responsible innovation and global citizenship, while student delegations from China, South Korea, and the United States presented AI-enabled solutions addressing water efficiency, clean energy, and urban resilience.
The event highlighted the vital role young people already play in addressing urgent sustainability challenges. It also emphasized the importance of supporting youth-led innovation grounded in shared human values and the ethical use of AI.
As H.E. Ambassador Sangjin Kim, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Korea to the UN, put it, "The tools exist, and they are working. Now, what remains open is not whether we use them, but how, by whom, and according to what values."
