AI has the power to transform our world. But only if it is built by, and for, everyone.
From learning to leading, girls must be at the center of the AI revolution to unlock its full potential for development.

As a Youth Advisor to António Guterres on climate change, I had the honor of meeting with him alongside fellow youth advisors.
We spoke about climate resilience and why youth must be at the centre of early warning systems. Caribbean voices matter. @YAGClimate

Stronger coordination. Greater coherence. Impact at scale. The reformed Resident Coordinator system is working with governments at local level to translate these objectives into results, implementing the 2030 Agenda in over 160 countries.
Shared with Member States visible impact of these reforms and measures taken to recalibrate the system, 8 years in — their leadership remains vital to consolidate gains made.
The RC system remains key to the @UN advancing the SDGs, leaving no one behind.

Youth are not just part of the conversation - they are driving it!
At the #ECOSOCYouth Forum, #Generation17 young leaders join youth from around the 🌍 to accelerate action on the #GlobalGoals.
Together with @SamsungMobile, we continue to support youth-led innovation at scale.
People in the Middle East deserve to live without fear, to raise their children without the sound of bombs, to return home without wondering when they have to flee again.
The @UN & I will spare no effort in striving for the peaceful future this region so richly deserves.
It was a privilege to deliver remarks at the 11th edition of the annual Energy Summit, where I emphasized that Europe’s leadership has never been more essential.
The world is facing a decisive moment.
Europe must choose: accelerate the shift to clean, secure, homegrown energy — or remain vulnerable to crises they cannot control.
Grid upgrades, affordable finance, resilient supply chains & a just transition aren’t optional. They’re the path to stability.
The moment to accelerate is now.
