THANK YOU 4 brill abc-of-economy statement by Major Group Children&Youth at sustainabledevelopment.un.org/hlpf/2019/ during session on SDG8 on growth&jobs! @UNMGCY @FridayForFuture @ExtinctionR

We are
Addicted to an
Antiquated
Broken model of development
Based on
Contradictions and
Corruption.
Degradation is
Endless, we are
Failing.

Greed based
Growth is
Harmful and
Hazardous.

Inequality, leaves us
Impoverished and
Ignored. We are
Jaded. We are being
Killed by your
Luxurious
Lifestyles and
Linear economic systems which

Marginalize with their
Market-driven
Narrow-minded
Near-sighted
Neoliberalism.

Opacity is
Oppressive.
Privatization is
Pervasive and
Partisan. We are told by the
Powerful to
Quit

The Rich’s
Rigging of the
System
Threatens life as we know it.
The under- and unemployed are being
Unjustly
Violated by
The
Wealthy and
Wicked.

All others are
Excluded
Exploited,
Expelled into
Existential crises

Year after
year.

Zero

Zero time to waste

We are
Young!
We want development based on
Well-being
Well-functioning governments which reaffirm our
Values. Be
Virtuous.
Be Useful,
Truthful and
Transformative

Strengthen labour unions to make work
Safe and
Satisfying.
Secure all with
Social (protections).

Be
Responsible.
Realize human
Rights, and
Reskill for a just transition.

We need
Quality education and jobs
A
People-centered
Paradigm of
Progress is
Possible.
Producing
Prosperity within
Planetary boundaries.

Be
Optimistic and
Organize!
No
Nightmares
Needed.

Monitor
Meaningful
Measurements.
Make
Logical
Legislation based on
Knowledge,
Kindness, and
Justice.
Innovative
Intergenerational collaborations indicate
Holistic
Human
Happiness is for the
Global
Good.

Focus on
Fundamental
Free
Fair
Fulfilling
Flexible

Education

Educate!

Ensure
Equitable
Environmental
Development which
Divests
Degrows and provides
Decent work for all. We need
Dialogue

Connecting
Communities for these
Circular economies

Be better, go
Beyond
Build
Beautiful
Alternatives.

Act
Audaciously.
Agitate
Advocate
Alleviate hope and
Achieve transformation, together.
