 Thank you for joining the Generation Connect movement. It's great to have you on board. ITU's mission is to connect the world and the fact that 2.9 billion people still remain without vital access to the Internet is simply unacceptable. Many of you yourselves have struggled with your own connectivity, as it may have been too expensive or too slow, impacting things like your studies during the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to hear from you. We value your perspectives and unique expertise that you bring in dealing with the digital world. By organizing a hub to support the 2022 Generation Connect Global Youth Summit, you are raising your voice together with thousands of young people across the world. We want to hear your ideas on how to connect the unconnected, how to leverage digital technologies for sustainable development. We want your ideas on climate change and the role of technology, how to create a safer online world, and how to close the digital gender gap, how to be prepared for the future of work, and how to manage digital dependencies and your mental health and much, much more. Debate, brainstorm, and collect ideas from your local community and share them with us. You could consider the following questions. How do we build an inclusive and sustainable digital future for all? What are you as a young person ready to do to ensure a more inclusive digital future? What actions can government decision makers, the ITU, and UN organizations at large take to build a better digital future? A key outcome of the Youth Summit will be the youth call to action. This critical document will be submitted to world leaders and policymakers at the World Telecommunications Development Conference, which shapes ITU's digital development agenda. Let's ensure that young people's perspectives are core to the design of a digital future that is inclusive, affordable, and available for everyone everywhere. That's why your contribution and active commitment and engagement through your hub is so valuable. I look forward to your participation in our mission to connect the unconnected.
