African Union

On September 27, 2024, the United Nations Department of Global Communications (DGC), in collaboration with the African Union Chairperson’s Special Envoy on Youth (AU OYE) and BBC Africa, gathered 12 Young Africans alongside UN Deputy Secretary General Amina  Mohammed to engage on the Future of Africa. During this Town Hall Discussion, which occurred on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, young people provided their perspectives on pressing issues and offered solutions to promote growth, prosperity and a sustainable future across the continent. Among them were members of the newly launched Africa’s Panel of the Future, supported by the UN Foundation, who engaged in a reflective discussion on the critical role African youth play in addressing the climate crisis and shaping global governance.
