Doha Forum: Youth Edition 2026

Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders

The Doha Forum: Youth Edition, powered by QatarDebate, is a premier platform bridging young voices with global policy discussions. Serving as a precursor to the 24th edition of the main Doha Forum (5-6 December 2026), the Youth Edition convenes global youth leaders to debate, share experiences, and shape actionable solutions for a better future.

Redefining Global Trust

At a time of rapid geopolitical change and systemic uncertainty, trust—the very foundation of international cooperation—is being fundamentally redefined. Power dynamics, technological disruption, and evolving norms are reshaping how trust is designed and sustained across borders. The challenge goes beyond state disagreements; diverging understandings of sovereignty and governance are creating a more fragmented global landscape, impacting everything from energy markets to global economic stability.
