Adolescent health and wellbeing indicators have stagnated while new threats have emerged requiring collective and urgent action.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/adolescentsourfuture.com\/2024-lancet-commission\/\">second Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing<\/a> brings together a diverse group of 43 Commissioners from across disciplines, sectors, and geographies. Given demographic shifts and the likelihood that half of the world\u2019s young people will be growing up in sub-Saharan Africa by the end of the century, we have emphasised the participation of Commissioners living and\/or working in Africa. We have also adopted an innovative intergenerational partnership approach to Commission membership with workstreams co-led by senior academics, emerging and early-career research leaders, and youth advocates.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Moving beyond the simple inclusion of young people, the Commission is committed to meaningful and continuous youth engagement and working towards the establishment of complementary and equal partnerships. It also recognizes the importance of engaging young people as empowered actors and leaders in finding solutions to challenges facing their generation.<\/p><p style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Professors Alex Ezeh, Russell Viner, and Sarah Baird are co-chairs of the new Commission, supported by Steering Committee members: Professor Peter Azzopardi, Professor Susan Sawyer, Dr Shakira Choonara and the late Professor George Patton.<\/p><h4 style=\"font-style: inherit;
