On the 8th of February, 2024, the government of Azerbaijan, represented by the deputy minister of foreign affairs, extended an invitation to us to propose innovative ideas and projects that should be finalized and submitted by the end of February, 2024. This initiative aims to foster a close collaboration with Leyla Hasanova, who will be leading the coordination efforts for global youth initiatives.

In addition to the pressing concern of nuclear warfare, it is imperative to acknowledge that humanity is currently confronted with a new and alarming existential threat that was scarcely recognized on the political landscape back in 1964: the imminent risk of ecological collapse. This threat poses significant challenges to our environment and demands immediate attention and action from global leaders and policymakers.
