When generations work together, the future is stronger, fairer & more sustainable.

I was honoured to share the #UNGA stage today with young people to mark 30 years of the World Programme of Action for Youth.

@UNDP fully supports youth as co-creators of actions to drive #SDGs.

[UN Development @UNDP]

The #GlobalGoals are our blueprint to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

Here are 10 ways young people are harnessing digitalization to advance #OurCommonFuture.

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

It was invigorating to meet with young people today who are in New York for the Summit of the Future. They shared stories & hopes.

I heard about the work they do for their communities & I shared @UNDP's commitment to securing a better future across generations. #YouthLead #UNGA

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

Young people set the development agenda for #OurCommonFuture.

They are at the Summit of the Future #UNGA to tell world leaders that decisions made now must include youth.

@UNDP is here to amplify their voices to inspire all those in seats of power: listen, learn, & act.

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

In my meeting with Flemming Besenbacher, Chairman of UNLEASH, we explored collaboration opportunities with @UNDP flagship programmes, including the Timbuktoo initiative & accelerating progress towards the #SDGs through youth engagement and innovative approaches.

[UN Development @UNDP]

For September's Summit of the Future, 2 topics will be top of the agenda: youth and digital.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.

Everyone must assume their responsibilities.

This is a moment of truth.

History will judge us all.
