The assembly, described as the only global forum where all countries—big or small—have an equal voice, will shape the solutions that could redefine the future.
The statement emphasized the importance of accountability among leaders and the involvement of people, particularly the youth, in shaping decisions that will impact generations to come.
“The future depends on everyone’s participation, decision-makers and everyday citizens alike. It’s up to all of us to act now for people, for the planet, and for our common future,” read the statement.
