, where young people are equal citizens and are encouraged and supported to achieve their fullest potential as global citizens.
The global youth agenda has entered a new era. With 1.9 billion young people alive today, including me. This is half the world’s population under 30 years of age, the potential for transformative change is undeniable. Today’s younger generation, me included, is one of the largest generations in history and is a driving force for innovation and societal change. Yet, too often, young people face persistent challenges and barriers to equal participation.
We are at a pivotal moment in history. The choices we make today will have a profound impact on our current and future generations. This is our once-in-a-generation opportunity to come together as one world and create a future worth living for.
The United Nations has long recognized that the imagination, ideals and energies of us young people are vital for the continuing development of the societies in which we live.
