#CPD59
How is technology shaping your life?
This week at #CPD59 in New York, leaders, civil society and youth are tackling urgent population issues, with tech at the centre.
We asked young people how AI and digital tools can help build the future they want.
What are your thoughts?
“By shifting our mindset from anxiety to resilience, addressing barriers to reproductive choice & committing to people-centered paths to prosperity, demographic change becomes a catalyst for progress rather than a source of fear.”
