Whether it’s building sustainable fuel sources in Kenya or starting a grassroots climate activism
association in France, volunteering for charities or for human rights organizations, those young
people have found ways to make change happen. Now it’s our turn.

We have exactly 10 years to meet the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. These

are years of incredible potential for us. We will be choosing our paths, stepping into careers,
and finding our places in the world.

Let’s use our experience at FerMUN to guide us in that process. Let’s always be sure to favour
openness over prejudice, cooperation over rivalry, and action over defeatism. Let’s define our

values, act with the future in mind, and take responsibility.

There is no time to waste. We are dealing with accelerating change - in the evolution of
technology, and in the warming of the planet. Every minute counts.

When we get home, I hope we’ll bring back more than just Swiss chocolate and FerMUN

souvenirs. I hope we’ll bring back ideas. Motivation. Dedication to a common goal.
I propose that we establish that goal right now.

I’ve taken the liberty of adapting a pledge taken by the delegates of the second Youth
Assembly on the first day of debates.

The participants and guests of the ITU Futurecasters Global Young Visionaries Summit - FerMUN
2020,

Considering that youth and Generation Z will be faced both by great problems and the
responsibility of being the leaders in the near future and thus are extremely important, meaning

that their education and the values they are taught are vital in creating the world of tomorrow,

Expresses its determination to ensure integration and inclusion by granting all human beings
equal and sustainable access to education, employment and necessary services to allow all
to contribute to society and have a meaningful role in shaping the future.

All those in favour of this pledge, please raise your hands now!

With an overwhelming majority, this pledge is adopted by the assembly.

Now, it's up to us, each and every one of us, to dare to make the change we want.
