The two-day Summit of the Future concluded at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Monday evening with the adoption of the Pact for the Future. This pivotal pact encompasses a wide array of themes, including peace and security, sustainable development, and climate change, aiming to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
Amidst global leaders and policymakers, Iranian student Faezeh Mirzabeh stepped into the spotlight to champion the importance of youth involvement in shaping the future. Currently pursuing her studies in communications at China’s Tsinghua University, Mirzabeh brings a unique international perspective to the discourse on global issues.
Speaking to CGTN Stringer, she emphasized that effective communication is crucial in tackling complex global challenges such as climate change and economic inequality. “In today’s intricate international landscape and amidst a global security deficit, the power of communication cannot be underestimated,” Mirzabeh remarked. “Young people from various countries have innovative perspectives on issues including global governance and multilateralism.”
She advocated for the voices of youth worldwide to be heard and amplified, highlighting that their fresh insights are invaluable in crafting sustainable solutions. “We, the younger generation, are inheriting this world and its challenges. It’s imperative that our ideas and solutions are part of the global conversation,” she added.
The Summit of the Future aimed to redefine how the international community approaches global problems, and Mirzabeh’s call to action resonates with many who believe that inclusivity and diversity of thought are key to progress. Her appeal underscores a growing movement among young people seeking greater representation and influence in international affairs.
As the Pact for the Future sets the stage for collective action, voices like Mirzabeh’s remind us that empowering youth is not just beneficial but essential. Their engagement and innovative thinking are vital components in shaping a more equitable and sustainable world.
