This is the largest generation of adolescents and young adults in human history (1.8 billion), they are a group that demands more attention and action.\u00a0Adolescents and young adults face unprecedented social, economic, and cultural change. This Lancet<\/em> Commission argues that there are tremendous unrealised opportunities not only for the health and wellbeing of young people themselves but also for the future of society and future generations. Inaction however remains a threat to health, economic development, and even the health of our planet. The most powerful actions for adolescent health and wellbeing are intersectoral, multilevel, and multicomponent and engage and empower young people themselves to be part of change and accountability mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>

“The biggest opportunity during the next 15 years and beyond is to make adolescents the human face of the Sustainable development Goals.” \u2013 K<\/em>leinert and Horton<\/em><\/span><\/p>

“For me, the acronym ‘SDG’ also stands for Sustainable Development Generation, and sustainability means engaging future generations today.\u201d \u2013 Ban Ki-Moon<\/em><\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe Lancet Commission is a powerful reminder that there is more to do to meet the unique needs of adolescents. And the compelling findings of the Commission must serve as an important wake-up call to individuals, organisations, and governments to support a new approach.\u201d \u2013 Melinda Gates<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
