Young people today face challenges that are substantially different to any generation that has gone before. Society is transforming: artificial intelligence and other technologies will impact our lives in a way not seen since the industrial revolution; climate change will bring potential existential challenges, and there is no longer any guarantee that economies and the quality of life will stay stable. The role of the Council of Europe in promoting youth rights will be central to managing these changes.
