45+ Nationalities
170 Youth Delegates
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Future Action Summit (FAS) Malaysia 2.0, held from 27–30 November 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, united 170 youth delegates representing over 45 nationalities under the inspiring theme “Countdown to 2030.”
Over four dynamic days, participants took part in keynote talks, high-impact workshops, panel discussions, and cultural exchange activities. FAS Malaysia 2.0 served as a global platform for emerging changemakers to transform their ideas into practical, actionable strategies, driving momentum toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future as the world approaches 2030.
Delegates from 45+ nationalities arrived in Kuala Lumpur, checked in, and received their summit kits as registration began. An engaging orientation and ice-breaking session helped participants connect, followed by the Welcome Day Group Photo marking the official start of the FAS Malaysia 2.0 journey.
The day began with a welcome address and keynote setting the tone for youth-led action toward 2030, followed by a powerful panel discussion on rethinking global development. Delegates participated in sessions and workshops on sustainable futures, climate action, and youth-driven policy frameworks, before ending the day with a cultural visit to Batu Caves and time for reflection ahead of Day 3
The day began with insights into the ASEAN SDG–SSE Roadmap, a rapid-fire policy simulation, and presentations of the Youth Charter. Delegates engaged in interactive sessions, panel discussions, and workshops focused on SDG implementation, climate innovation, and systems thinking. The day concluded with a vibrant Cultural Night filled with performances and global celebrations.
The final day spotlighted youth visions for the world in the next five years, followed by inspiring Changemakers’ Presentations showcasing practical solutions and impact projects. A powerful spoken-word performance set the tone for the Closing Ceremony, where delegates received certificates, joined the final group photo, and departed with SDG Action Toolkits to continue their post-summit initiatives.
At the third edition of the Future Action Summit, held in Malaysia, we proudly produced the first-ever Youth Charter shaping the vision beyond 2030—a groundbreaking milestone in youth-led global policy. Over 170 young leaders aged 16–45 from 45+ nationalities came together to provide their insights, perspectives, and actionable ideas on key issues affecting the world post-2030.
Guided by specialized UN professionals, the inputs from youth were meticulously drafted into a policy framework by summit leaders, making Echo Change the first organization ever to launch a post-2030 policy draft through its flagship summit.
The Youth Charter is a living, working document, designed to evolve with ongoing contributions from youth around the globe. It will be shared with stakeholders, made accessible to the public, and continuously refined in future conferences, ensuring that young voices remain at the forefront of shaping a sustainable, equitable, and forward-thinking world.
The Summit featured a stellar line-up of speakers, moderators, and mentors, including:
