The Future Action Summit (FAS) Thailand 2025, organized by Echo Change, is a global youth-led summit dedicated to accelerating the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through grassroots leadership, innovation, and collaboration. Taking place in Bangkok from August 21–24, this four-day summit will bring together young leaders, activists, and changemakers from around the world for a transformative experience centered on practical SDG action, policy-making simulations, international networking, and high-impact workshops.
FAS stands apart from high-level diplomatic events like the UN's "Summit of the Future" by focusing on youth-led, bottom-up solutions to today’s most pressing global challenges. With a strong emphasis on SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, the summit aims to empower youth not just as beneficiaries, but as essential drivers of change.
The event offers multiple participation tiers—including fully funded, partially funded, self-funded, and forum-only access—ensuring diverse global representation. Echo Change, a UNESCO GAP Partner Network member with chapters on five continents, champions inclusive and actionable engagement, fostering long-term collaboration among young professionals, students, diplomats, NGOs, and policy advocates.
