NO This brief presents findings from a global youth initiative exploring how digital technologies support sustainable development within faith and cultural communities. Based on survey responses and case examples, it examines how young people use digital platforms to raise awareness, mobilise action, and strengthen resilience in response to climate and social challenges. The document highlights preferred tools, including virtual event platforms, social media, generative artificial intelligence, and virtual reality applications, and describes initiatives that integrate faith-based values with environmental engagement. It also analyses barriers to intergenerational collaboration, particularly technological literacy gaps, and outlines practical strategies to foster inclusive participation, mentorship, and youth leadership across diverse contexts.
