On the margins of the #ECOSOCYouthForum, YAG members met with UN SG @antonioguterres on meaningful youth inclusion, mental health and collective action on climate and human rights.
Encouraging reflections & a shared commitment to expand the opportunities for young people.
Humanity is speeding towards a climate catastrophe.
That’s the stark warning from the latest @UNEP report.
Every fraction of a degree of warming will cost lives, deepen inequalities & push ecosystems closer to irreversible damage.
We must raise ambition, accelerate #ClimateAction & fight for humanity. NOW.

Every child deserves access to quality education close to home.
At Tsogt-Undur Bagh School in Mongolia, I saw how investments in education, child protection and climate resilience can transform opportunities for children in rural communities.
This is how we reduce inequalities and bring quality education within reach for every child.
The @UN stands with all those, everywhere, who refuse to surrender our future to fear, division or silence.
Together we must confront hate wherever it appears, reject distortion & strengthen solidarity & compassion to build a better future for all.
Young people around the world are demanding change for a sustainable future.
With less than five years to deliver on the SDGs, youth leadership and impatience are the urgency needed to make a difference.
This #YouthDay, let us act in solidarity with every young person for the future they want.
On #YouthDay we celebrate the creativity & leadership of young people everywhere.
By working with them as equal partners, we can use their energy & expertise to tackle some of the defining crises of our time.
Together, let's build a future where every generation can thrive.
Deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake in Colombia.
We mourn those who have lost their lives and remain in solidarity with their families, the survivors, and the rescue teams working tirelessly in the aftermath of this tragedy.
The @UN is with the people of Colombia during this difficult time.
Advancing the energy transition at speed and scale has never been more urgent.
Critical energy transition minerals are central to this shift.
A truly just transition must deliver fair, equitable and sustainable outcomes for producing countries and communities, while upholding human rights and environmental integrity at every stage.
Extreme heat is no longer a future threat.
This is a stark reminder that our response cannot be a future choice either.
We must move with urgency to keep 1.5°C within reach and protect those on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

2.6B young people in the world — still too often excluded from decisions shaping their lives.
The UN Youth Compass is changing that. Because meaningful youth participation is essential for our planet, for our future, for all of us today.

AI has the power to transform our world. But only if it is built by, and for, everyone.
From learning to leading, girls must be at the center of the AI revolution to unlock its full potential for development.

At our Youth Leadership plenary at the #ECOSOCYouthForum, ideas didn’t just stay in the room — they were brought to life through visual scribing!
A huge thank you to @ReillyPinkfish for illustrating complex conversations as they took place, and to @SDGaction for the support!

As a Youth Advisor to António Guterres on climate change, I had the honor of meeting with him alongside fellow youth advisors.
We spoke about climate resilience and why youth must be at the centre of early warning systems. Caribbean voices matter. @YAGClimate
