“We are the last generation that can end climate change.”
Young people make up half of the global population
Their voice is a powerful force behind the plans to achieve net zero CO2 by 2050.
Young people have the energy and moral authority to keep the momentum for change.
As social media natives they can rally people behind causes they believe in.
Greta Thunberg has gone from being a lone voice to a powerful influence on the world.
The activist now commands the attention of those who can act on the climate emergency .
Not even the COVID-19 pandemic could slow the youth movement down
Collective action is vital to solving problems
They are not afraid to point out bad governance and hold perpetrators to account.
Youth groups have the potential to manage and respond to risks in their communities.
We need to embrace young people as agents of change.
Nobody has more at stake in the quest to create a more resilient world.
#OurResilientFuture

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
