Since its inception in 2012, this Forum has become one of the most important mechanisms for young people to shape implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And this year, your task is especially important.<\/p>\n<p>Your discussions will not only inform the annual High-Level Political Forum in July. They will also feed into the HLPF to be held this September under the auspices of the General Assembly. This will be the <u>first<\/u> comprehensive stock-take \u2013 and drive to scale-up solutions \u2013 at the level of heads of state and government.<\/p>\n<p>Also in September, the Secretary-General will hold a Climate Action Summit, which \u2013 I hope \u2013 will see leaders from all sectors present concrete initiatives to raise ambition dramatically as we move to implement the Paris Agreement in 2020. Your active engagement in the Summit is much needed to ensure success.<\/p>\n<p>These events cannot be \u201ctalk shops\u201d. They cannot be \u201cphoto ops\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago, I convened a High-Level Meeting on Climate and Sustainable Development For All \u2013 which benefitted greatly from the participation of 80 youth representatives. One of them, Sheddona Richardson from Grenada, made a powerful speech, with carefully chosen words.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cIn this moment, I choose to believe that you, our global leaders, will not just pay lip service to the need to address the grave challenges we face. That you will fully embrace the task before you and work towards finding pathways for climate and sustainable development for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.7&#8243;]\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" src=\"\/\/www.un.org\/webcast\/1362235914001\/B1J3DDQJf_default\/index.html?videoId=6023919418001\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>And this was precisely what our meeting set out to do. Our discussions highlighted the huge opportunities that lie in ambitious action: the economic benefits of climate-smart growth, estimated to be 26 trillion dollars by 2030; the net gain of 11.6 million jobs by 2050 that energy transformation could deliver.<\/p>\n<p>And three messages emerged loud and clear:<\/p>\n<p>First \u2013 we need truly inclusive intergenerational cooperation. Too often, we speak about young people as problems to be solved. And yes, there are challenges we need to address, such as creating the 344 million jobs needed to sustain our growing workforce.<\/p>\n<p>But there is no limit to what this generation \u2013 the largest, most educated, most globally-minded in history \u2013 can deliver. We will hear about Yolanda Joab\u2019s inspiring work later today. Imagine unleashing the potential of 1.8 billion Yolandas. Empowered and Equal Yolandas.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, while young people are right to be impatient \u2013 angry even \u2013 at my generation, we must work together if we are to tackle the challenges we face. All of us have responsibilities \u2013 young and old.<\/p>\n<p>Second \u2013 jobs: more jobs, better jobs, green jobs. Sixty-four million young people are unemployed. More than twice that number make less than a dollar ninety a day. With the right approach, rapid technological advances could improve these figures. Without it, they could get worse.<\/p>\n<p>Later this week \u2013 on 10 April \u2013 I will convene a high-level meeting on the future of work. I have invited Jolly Amatya to share the ideas that emerge from this Forum at the meeting, and Winnie Mutevu to present on your behalf during a high-level luncheon on scaling up SDG 8 for youth.<\/p>\n<p>And finally \u2013 youth, peace and security. We know that the vast majority of fragile and conflict-affected states are struggling to meet the SDGs. We know these states are home to a third of all young people. And we know youth are crucial actors on the ground. I saw their impact firsthand when I was Minister of Foreign Affairs in Ecuador. Last month, I met with young peace activists in Helsinki \u2013 who were full of insights from their work in conflict zones. So I am confident that our interactive dialogue tomorrow on youth, peace and security will be fruitful.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.7&#8243; author=&#8221;Mar\u00eda Fernanda Espinosa Garc\u00e9s&#8221; portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/73\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2018\/09\/PGA-73084-e1537294481964.jpg&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; job_title=&#8221;President of the UN General Assembly&#8221; quote_icon_background_color=&#8221;#f5f5f5&#8243; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; quote_icon_color=&#8221;#00aff8&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">While young people are right to be impatient \u2013 angry even \u2013 at my generation, we must work together if we are to tackle the challenges we face.
