Abstract text:
This roundtable highlights how applied psychology contributes to United Nations priorities through both practice and policy engagement. The session brings together representatives from IAAP's UN teams in New York, Geneva, and Vienna, together with colleagues from APA and EFPA, to illustrate how psychology is translated into action across domains such as mental health, climate, social development, and technology.


The discussion will feature both senior leaders and youth representatives, offering a forward-looking view of how psychology can continue to support the Sustainable Development Goals and the broader UN agenda.
