Abstract :
In today's context, the world needs more persons to join hand to conserve the mother earth. To address the environment, political and economic issues that are existing in the current context will need more human resources and goals to achieve. In this initiative, the world calls the younger generation to conserve the earth and make the place as better to live. The role of youth is very much needed for the better construction of society. Because the younger generation will lead the country to the next level and gives ways for the future generation, the target cannot be achieved without any goals. To construct a better society, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development has given 17 Goals in the name of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, 2030 agenda) applicable to 170 countries and territories. The Sustainable Development Goals consist of both opportunities and challenges for the youth. The problems are more when compared to opportunities in the Sustainable Development Goals. Youth need more recognition in the social and political status to attain a sustainable developed country with the support of Sustainable Development Goals. This paper explains the opportunities and challenges for the youth in the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper also gives suggestive measures to the Government and Non-Government Organizations to utilise the youth resources to achieve Sustainable Development Goals, 2030.
