Impact Areas 2010/11

In advance of the first One Young World Summit in London in 2010, YouGov conducted the One Young World Global Youth Study 2010. With more than 15,000 young respondents from all around the world, it is one of the biggest studies of global youth opinion ever undertaken. The findings helped identify the six main themes Ambassadors would focus their work on. At the 2010 Summit, delegates voted on a Resolution and a Calls to Action related to each theme. 

These six impact areas are featured in the tabs below, along with details of the numbers of people impacted by the work of Ambassadors in those areas between the 2010 Summit and the following Summit in September 2011.
