On this World Population Day, we celebrate the potential and promise of the largest youth generation ever.
值此世界人口日之際，讓我們頌揚史上人數(shù)最多的一代青年所擁有的潛力和前途。
They are not only shaping our future; they are demanding one that is just, inclusive, and sustainable.
他們不僅在塑造我們的未來；他們還要求構(gòu)建一個公正、包容、可持續(xù)的未來。
The theme – “Empowering young people to create the families they want in a fair and hopeful world” – reaffirms the promise of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development: that every person has the right to make informed choices about their lives and futures.
“增強(qiáng)青年人的權(quán)能，使之能夠在一個公平和充滿希望的世界中建立他們想要的家庭”這一主題再次申明了在1994年國際人口與發(fā)展會議上所作的承諾：每個人都有權(quán)對自己的生活和未來作出知情選擇。
Many young people today face economic uncertainty, gender inequality, health challenges, the climate crisis and conflict.
今天，許多年輕人面臨著經(jīng)濟(jì)不確定性、性別不平等、醫(yī)療保健挑戰(zhàn)、氣候危機(jī)和沖突。
Still, they are leading – with courage, conscience and clarity. And they are calling for systems that uphold their rights and support their choices.
盡管如此，他們正在憑借勇氣、良知和清醒頭腦展現(xiàn)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力。他們呼吁建立可以維護(hù)其自身權(quán)利、支持其自身選擇的制度。
I urge countries to invest in policies that ensure education, healthcare, decent work, and the full protection of their reproductive rights.
我敦促各國著力制定各項政策，確保提供教育、醫(yī)療保健和體面工作，充分保護(hù)他們的生殖權(quán)利。
Let us stand with young people and build a future where every person can shape their destiny in a world that is fair, peaceful and full of hope.
讓我們與年輕人一道構(gòu)建這樣一種未來：每個人都能在一個公平、和平、充滿希望的世界中塑造自己的命運。
