🚨 BREAKING: The #SDGProgress Report 2023 reveals that the #AsiaPacific has only made 14.4% progress towards achieving the #SDGs, pushing our #2030Agenda ambitions further away by decades. We can't afford to wait any longer - #ActNow! ➡️ bit.ly/AP-SDGProgress2023

These words from an ordinary man from #SriLanka must reach every leadership in the rest Asia and Africa. We vote u in power, but instead of delivering services u get bodyguards to protect u from us. #SriLankaProtests

Imagine a world in 25 years where we have implemented what we have discussed today - spot on vision from @chamathya93 @Beijing25Youth #GenerationEquality
Replying to @AdolescentPlan
‘Imagine 2 different worlds in 25 years: • One where we are having this same conversation. • And one where we are implementing the actions we are discussing today. I look forward to the second one.’ #GenerationEquality #GirlLeaders
