Brazil « Developing education and its places so that students and teachers can transfer information smoothly. Establish training and educational courses for all and all students and develop and strengthen skills. Because in fact we need a well-studied and educated nation so that we can rise and solve all obstacles, for example, lack of Resources, the lack of health materials in hospitals and health centers, the lack of some vaccines, and even the lack of dental anesthesia in some health centers.. Basically, we need a strong government. We need rulers whose goal is to raise their country and not steal its resources and benefit from them for their own expense. In order to build a prosperous future, we need fair bathers. » Woman, 19 years old, Iraq « I guess publishing daily programs awaring and giving more exceptional knowledge about one’s mental health This is the biggest problem of this generation going on. When a person go through their toughest mentally they will be left with only 2 choices in their life. Its either giving up on life or growing more stronger.. in this 2 choice obviously second one sounds better, so to help people and even me I think we all need mental health awareness to build the future we want simply. Having a bad mental health and bad situation together is a different thing than having only bad mental health and a person will go through bad situation in the process of building future. So mental health matters. » Woman, 18 years old, Nepal « Among the many collective issues which should definitely be addressed in order to build the future I want, I strongly think that the issues of poverty should be addressed and solved first on a global scale. This is because we are aware that poverty is the revolution to crime and injustice. Therefore, eliminating poverty would not only give a safer environment towards the community but further improve the lives of many in our society especially the younger generation for a bigger and brighter future together. » Woman, 18 years old, Malaysia « We need to address climate change urgently and make our societies more sustainable. This includes everything from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to moving towards renewable sources of energy and creating more sustainable consumption and production patterns. At the same time, we need to work on social issues like inequality and lack of access to quality education and healthcare. If we can make progress on these fronts, we will be taking a big step towards the kind of future I wish to see. » Man, 28 years old, South Korea « These are technological and environmental challenges that must be met for the rest of our existence. We will have to work to think and be inventive, to push people to the maximum of their abilities. However, we will have to carry out this task while striving to keep a balance between political correctness and what is not pleasant to hear, between inflexibility and change. In short, it is important to advance on the social level, perhaps faster than on the technological level, in order to instil discipline and principles in people, while preserving individual and collective freedoms so that these said people accept change while keeping the good of the past. » Man, 15 years old, France « We need to address the violence that is happening in the world, for example the war in Ukraine or the injustice and horrible mistreatment and killing in Iran and we need to unite against the people that made it possible. We need to address that climate change is a real thing and that it is a threat against the world. » Woman, 16 years old, Czechia « Let’s stop ignoring young people, listen to young people, reflect on their ideas, and above all create jobs. Give us the chance to fight and succeed, wherever and wherever we can estimate our ability. Let’s stop closing our eyes to people who ask for help and especially those who only ask to be fed. » Woman, 16 years old, Czechia « We need to understand what climate justice means, that it involves more than just solving the climate crisis (as if it wasn’t hard enough yet), but equal rights, human rights, dismantling of the patriarchy (which does not mean to suppress men now), empowering of women, LGBTQAI+, disabled people, and BIPoC in this world that was built for white cis men. We need a system change. Also, it is unforgivable that the people currently in power hardly listen to younger generations and act as if they are not understanding the global problems yet, while working towards money and big companies instead of a better world themselves. The ones with the greatest influence on climate change, which are big companies, should use this influence and stop using campaigns to propagate single human beings have to save the world by eating less meat and taking the bike sometimes instead of the car. We need almost radical decisions by governments that are, for once, not in favor of companies to make more money. » Non-binary, 22 years old, Germany « I believe that one of the main concerns of young people today is the lack of support and support during the transition to adulthood. Society needs to be united in a way where we can feel safe with our dreams, desires and plans for the future. If a young person knew that there is a support point during this process, many anxiety problems, imposter syndrome would be reversed. Young people want to find paths to their dreams and not obstacles. » Brazil
