United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres says that young people, as innovators, leaders, and agents of change, play a vital role in building more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable societies.
On Wednesday, July 15, Guterres wrote on X that young people must be equipped with the capabilities and skills needed to meet the demands of today’s rapidly changing world.
He also emphasized the importance of providing educational opportunities and skills development for the younger generation so they can contribute to building fairer and more sustainable societies.
The UN Secretary-General has previously said that young people are at the forefront of innovation and social change and can play an effective role in addressing global challenges.
Guterres has repeatedly underscored the role of young people in promoting peace, sustainable development, and responding to global crises, while calling for their greater participation in decision-making processes.
