The world faces an urgent challenge: 1.8 billion young people are standing on the brink of adulthood.

Yet, a staggering 60% of young people are projected to lack essential skills by 2030, putting their very prospects for dignified lives at risk. The long-term impacts of this crisis will ripple through our economies, communities, and societies, deepening inequality and locking young people out of the opportunities they need to build a better life.

The time to act is now!

Unlocking opportunities for young people today means 1.8 billion reasons to be hopeful about tomorrow
