On 9-10 June 2021, the World Bank Group is hosting a World Bank Group Youth Summit 2021. 

The theme for the 2021 Summit is Resilient Recovery for People and Planet. The economic hardship, loss of life, and global human suffering seen at an unprecedented level as a result of COVID-19 has highlighted the deficiencies in our society and ignited a call to action that is practical, inclusive, and sustainable. At the heart of the 2021 Youth Summit theme is the opportunity for a global conversation that emphasizes the role of the youth in addressing the effects of climate change and examining the measures and opportunities for a resilient recovery for people and planet.​
