In this video statement marking International Youth Day 2022: Intergenerational Solidarity - Creating a World for All Ages, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres speaks about the power of partnerships across generations. "We need people of all ages, young and old alike, to join forces to build a better world for all. Too often, ageism, bias and discrimination prevent this essential collaboration. When young people are shut out of the decisions being made about their lives, or when older people are denied a chance to be heard, we all lose."
