背景信息
The Children’s Conference of the Future in Support of the United Nations is a UN-recognized child-centered initiative designed to empower children as active agents of change.
Held previously during EXPO 2025 (Future Summit) and continuing through its 6th edition in 2026, the conference brings together children from Japan and around the world to discuss global challenges grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 2026 theme:
- “Peace”
- “Let’s create new jobs that AI cannot do.”
- “Let’s Think About a Peaceful and Prosperous World!”
The conference positions children not as passive learners but as leaders who communicate proposals and declarations to adult society. It emphasizes diversity & inclusion (DE&I), social inequality, gender equality, technological transformation, and peace-building.
On Hiroshima Peace Memorial Day (August 6, 2025), children presented the “Peace Communication Declaration,” marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. This declaration continues to inform the 2026 program’s peace-focused dialogue.
