Leaders at Africa Climate Conference urge youth to take the lead

Speaking at a high-level intergenerational dialogue on Africa driving climate adaptation solutions and jobs, former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a passionate challenge to the younger generation, urging them to step forward and make their voices heard.

“Speak out, stand up, exercise your right to vote and make your voices heard. Embrace bold ambitions and cultivate compassion for all humanity. Embrace global citizenship and transcend the confines of national borders that divide us. Remember that we are all human beings facing the same global challenges together,” said Moon.
