Greater #youth involvement in policymaking is a cornerstone of the #UN's #OurCommonAgenda. What an exchange with an impressive group of young people, demonstrating extraordinary activism! I'll take their stories with me as I wrap up my 2-day visit to #Indonesia.

I welcome the 1st Global Labour Agreement on working conditions & rights of professional footballers.
Footballers, regardless of their employment relationship type, need to be protected by fundamental principles & rights at work.

The world is on red alert.
Without effective responses to the impacts of the climate, food, fuel and finance crises, we'll see more suffering, instability and potentially more conflict.
The #UNGlobalAccelerator is a crucial component of a coordinated global response.

Good to meet with while in New York for #UNGA77.
I echo his call for global cooperation & dialogue to solve global challenges.
The #UNGlobalAccelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions is a key mechanism for mobilizing that cooperation.

At the #UNGA this Friday we'll be seeking commitments to the #UNGlobalAccelerator on Jobs & Social Protection.
The ambitious and necessary initiative aims to create 400 million jobs and extend social protection to the 4 billion who currently have none.

The #UNGA convenes at a time of multiple global crises.
The international response needs to have decent jobs & social protection at its centre.
That's why will be pushing strongly for progress on the Global Accelerator on Jobs & Social Protection.

Gender pay gaps persist globally. On average, women are still paid 20% less than men.
Equal pay for work of equal value is the only reasonable way forward.
Social protection, better job opportunities and childcare will help close gender gaps more broadly.

Welcome news from on minimum wages in EU countries, as we face the impact of the #EnergyCrisis.
Social dialogue & collective bargaining are central to the social contract and essential to create conditions for decent work, inequality reduction and social well-being.

Parliament has adopted new rules on adequate minimum wages for all workers in the EU. Minimum wages in all EU countries should allow for decent living and working standards and member states should promote collective bargaining for pay.

The economic & jobs situation remains highly volatile. The #energycrisis has compounded an already difficult situation for millions of people.

Our new report with & shows 50 million people globally are in #modernslavery.
Nothing can justify the persistence of this fundamental abuse of human rights.
Govts, employers' orgs, trade unions & civil society must come together to help #EndModernSlavery.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Hers was a life of unparalleled service and devotion to public duty, through 70 years of rapid change.
She inspired generations around the world through her leadership and dedication.
