I was delighted today to host the 2026 ECOSOC Youth Forum and meet young people coming from around the world. I stressed that:
“We gather at a moment of profound global challenges. Amid these challenges, young people stand not only as those most affected, but also as indispensable agents of change. Across communities and sectors, young people are not only advancing solutions but actively shaping a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future for all.”
Their leadership, innovation, and determination are essential as we accelerate progress toward the #2030Agenda. Let us continue to Innovate, Unite, and Transform - placing youth at the center of a more sustainable, just, and peaceful future for all. #ECOSOCYouth
