AMMAN — Jordanian Waad Khozai won the first prize in the UN Industrial Development Organisation creative youth award, which witnessed the participation of 2,500 young people from around the world.

Khozai competed for the award by submitting an article and a video on the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, addressing challenges that may hinder realising these targets, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Tuesday.

The winner is scheduled to deliver a speech and receive the award on Friday at an official ceremony at the UN headquarters in Vienna, before she returns to the Kingdom on Sunday.
