Give young people a seat at the table
This is absurd.

World leaders are preparing for a once-in-a-generation summit to agree on how to tackle the biggest challenges of our time – and governments are trying to keep young people out of the room.

From the climate crisis, to the rise of AI, our youth will have to live with the consequences of the decisions made today. They deserve to have a say about their own future.

But we have a plan: in days, youth leaders from all over the world will gather for their biggest forum of the year at the UN – and we can help them stand up to governments trying to silence them while no one is looking. But we are looking! So add your name and share this now to make this massive. Avaaz will work with allies to carry our voices into UN talks.
