The Role of Youth as Agents of Change in Realizing Sustainable Development Goals: A Humanistic Theory Perspective
Abstract
Youth is a national asset whose potential is very influential in the development of a country. Youth is the successor to the heroes of the nation's predecessors. Youth have a diverse role in realizing sustainable development goals around the world. Therefore, various efforts are made to build the potential of youth throughout Indonesia. Through an understanding of psychological needs and individual potential, youth can be encouraged to take an active role in advancing sustainable development goals, not only as beneficiaries, but also as key actors in the process. This research aims to explore the role of youth as agents of change in the context of sustainable development, using the perspective of humanistic theory, specifically concepts such as self-actualization and psychological need fulfillment. Through the humanistic theory approach, this research analyzes how youth can be the driving force in the process of sustainable social transformation. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative research with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observations, and literature studies from several sources of books and relevant scientific articles. The result of the research is the essential contribution of youth in the process of sustainable social transformation both on a local and global scale. As well as the need to understand the motivation, needs, and potential of individual youth based on humanistic theory. There are program recommendations that support the active participation and involvement of youth in various sustainable development initiatives.
