International Youth Day celebrates the power and potential of young people.
國際青年日頌揚年輕人的力量和潛力。
This year’s focus is on the pivotal role of youth in harnessing technology to advance sustainable development.
今年的重點是青年在利用技術促進可持續發展方面的關鍵作用。
Around the world, young people are turning clicks into progress, making the most of digital tools to take on local and global challenges – from climate change to rising inequalities to the growing mental health crisis.
在世界各地,年輕人正在將點擊轉化為進步,充分利用數字化工具應對地方和全球挑戰——從氣候變化到日益加劇的不平等,再到日益嚴重的精神健康危機。
But achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires a seismic shift – which can only happen if we empower young people and work with them as equals.
但要實現可持續發展目標,就必須進行重大轉變——只有我們增強青年權能并與他們平等合作,才能實現這一轉變。
That means bridging digital divides, boosting investments in education, critical thinking and information literacy, tackling the gender biases that often dominate the tech industry, and supporting young innovators in expanding digital solutions.
這意味著彌合數字鴻溝,增加對教育、批判性思維和信息素養的投資,解決科技行業中常見的性別偏見,并支持年輕創新者拓展數字解決方案。
As Artificial Intelligence reshapes our world, young people must also be front and centre in shaping digital policies and institutions.
隨著人工智能重塑我們的世界,年輕人也必須處于制定數字政策和制度的前沿和中心。
Next month’s Summit of the Future is an opportunity to build global problem-solving mechanisms that are more networked and inclusive. I urge leaders to use the Summit to advance youth participation at every level, establish youth consultative bodies, promote intergenerational dialogue and scale up funding opportunities for young people everywhere.
下個月的未來峰會是建立更加網絡化和包容的全球問題解決機制的機會。我敦促各國領導人利用此次峰會推動青年在各個層面的參與,建立青年協商機構,促進代際對話,并擴大對各地年輕人的資助機會。
You can count on the UN Youth Office and the entire UN family to stand with and for young people.
聯合國青年辦公室和聯合國大家庭將不負眾望,與年輕人站在一起,支持年輕人。
Together, let us draw on their energy and ideas to shape a more sustainable future for all.
讓我們一起汲取年輕人的能量和想法,為所有人打造一個更可持續的未來。
