My message to young people worldwide:
— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) August 12, 2024
Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable.
Do not accept that you cannot transform things.
If we want to change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for a better future for all.https://t.co/aC4qkfMJVp… pic.twitter.com/78PxZPsOih
