The 79th session of the UN General Assembly opens on September 10, 2024. When global leaders meet at the UN, they will confront yet another year of complex crises and conflicts — as a deeply divided world watches.

The debates and conversations that will unfold during UNGA 79 will shape the solutions that can redefine our future. Progress hinges on leaders taking accountability and correcting course. But it also depends on people — especially young people — having a say in the decisions that will affect our future. And the future depends on everyone’s participation — decision-makers and everyday citizens alike. It’s up to all of us to act now for people, for planet, and for our common future. A fantastic vehicle for sustainable development, sports will play its part.
