UN General Assembly
2019

The world today is home to 1.8 billion young people — the largest generation of young people in history. Young people are a source of new ideas, innovation, energy and dynamism. The constructive engagement of young generations in addressing global issues is critical. This point was vividly demonstrated last weekend when millions of young people marched in the global climate strike to demand climate justice, action and accountability. Their resolve helped to boost the momentum at the Climate Action Summit.
