United Nations Video: Reminder to world leaders of the incredible potential of refugees - Youth at Summit of the Future

Play Video: Reminder to world leaders of the incredible potential of refugees - Youth at Summit of the Future

Remarks by Monicah Malith, (Republic of South Sudan), refugee youth advocate at the Opening of the Summit of the Future. Malith reminded world leaders of the incredible potential of refugees when they are seen, heard, and empowered. She also reminded young people that "The future is ours to forge. Not theirs to cling to. Not theirs to pass down like spoils of war.” -------------------------- The Summit of the Future (22-23 September 2024) is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments including to the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Charter, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people’s lives. The Summit of the Future is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future. Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities. World leaders will convene at the United Nations to adopt the Pact for the Future, which will include a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations as annexes.

Action Days brought over 7,000 people at United Nations Headquarters ahead of the Summit the Future. The historic Adoption of the Pact of the Future culminated two Action Days at United Nations Headquarters. Starting on Friday, thousands of young people along with leaders in the fields of government, civil society, academia and entertainment held a dynamic series of discussions and events on the themes of technology, peace and security and sustainable development and financing. Here's a look inside. --------------------- The Summit offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for change. It will pave a way to a better tomorrow that we can only shape together. In support of this vision and objectives, The Summit of the Future Action Days will be convened by the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 20 and 21 September 2024 at United Nations Headquarters in New York to generate additional opportunities for the engagement of all actors. Bringing together representatives from Member States, civil society, private sector, academia, local and regional authorities, youth, and many more, the Action Days will provide an opportunity for broad engagement and inclusion. These stakeholders have all played a key role in shaping the Pact for the Future and its annexes, and will be critical to implementation. The Action Days will kick off with a dedicated, youth-led afternoon followed by a Saturday programme which will focus on three priority themes – digital and technology, peace and security, and sustainable development and financing. In addition to the three themes, there will also be a dedicated focus throughout the day on future generations. Expected participants include Heads of State, Ministers, senior UN officials and representatives from the private sector, civil society and other actors.

Niria Alicía Garcia, a Xicana human rights advocate from the United States, climate justice organizer, educator and storyteller, said her generation's hearts are breaking as it endures the impacts of climate disaster that could have been prevented. “Our mother earth is hurting, and she needs our help. Worldwide our waters and sacred places are being desecrated. Corporate greed and war are pushing life to the verge of extinction. Global governments and politics are void of spirituality, of morality and basic respect for life,” she said. Speaking about the Pact for the Future, she highlighted that while it mentions words like sustainable development nearly 300 times, words like children, Earth and future generations are mentioned less than 60 times. “Do Indigenous Peoples still not exist to you? Are we not the stewards of 80 per cent of the world’s biodiversity?” she emphasised. However, she concluded on a hopeful note, stating firmly, “make no mistake that we have the medicine that this world needs and that with the help of creation, we will turn the tide for good.” ------------------------------- The Summit of the Future (22-23 September 2024) is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments including to the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Charter, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people’s lives.

Lebanon's health ministry says at least 182 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded in Israel strikes today. The UN has said the Middle East is on the "brink of imminent catastrophe" as tensions rise in the region, with the US also calling on Israel to avoid fighting with Hezbollah. Israel says strikes against Hezbollah are "deepening" as citizens in southern Lebanon have received phone messages warning them to leave places used by the Iran-backed group. A Lebanese minister calls the messages "psychological war" while Israel's defence minister says strikes will continue "until we achieve our goals - to return the residents of the north safely to their homes".
