Umoja wa Mataifa unaeleza kwamba duniani kote kuna vijana bilioni 1.2 wenye umri wa kati ya miaka 15 hadi 24. Idadi hii ni saw ana asilimia 16 ya wakazi wote wa dunia. Kama hiyo haitoshi, idadi hiyo ya vijana inatarajiwa kufikia bilioni 1.3 ifikapo mwaka 2030, yaani miaka mitano ijayo. Lakini changamoto ni kwamba bado serikali nyingi hazijaweza kutumia wingi wa idadi hii kusongesha Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu, SDGs. Kwa hali hiyo baadhi ya vijana wameamua kutumia fursa na kujiongeza ili vijana wenzao waweze kufahamu wanachopaswa kufanya ili SDGs zifanikiwe ifikapo 2030. Miongoni mwao ni Paul Siniga, kijana kutoka Tanzania ambaye mwezi Oktoba mwaka huu alikuweko kwenye makao makuu ya UN jijini New York, Marekani kushiriki vikao vya ngazi ya juu. Assumpta Massoi alitaka kufahamu kwa kina ni hatua zipi alichukua hadi kufika aliko sasa.

Mkutano wa 29 wa nchi wanachama wa Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi, COP29 unaoendelea huko Baku Azerbaijan umeleta pia watoto na vijana wanaharakati wa mazingiria kutoka kote ulimwenguni na kuwapatia fursa kuketi katika meza moja na viongozi ili kuhakikisha mustakabali wao umewekwa katika ajenda ya mkataba huo. Jukumu lao kama wachechemuzi wa mabadiliko chanya na hitaji la mazungumzo na ushirikiano kati ya vizazi lilitambuliwa rasmi katika matokeo ya Mkutano wa Zama Zijazo, SOTF mnamo Septemba 2024.Georgina Magesa, msichana mwenye umri wa miaka tisa na mwanaharakati wa mazingira, ambaye amewakilisha watoto wenzake kutoka Tanzania katika Mkutano wa 29 wa nchi wanachama wa Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi, COP29 huko Baku, Azerbaijan. Anatoa ujumbe mahsusi akianza kwa kusistiza kuwa watoto pia wana mchango katika kutatua changamoto za mabadiliko ya tabianchi.“Watoto wenzangu duniani kote, nyie pia mnaweza kuleta mabadiliko chanya. Anza na hatua ndogo pia muwe na ndoto kubwa. Panda miti. Hifadhi maji. Jifunze kuhusu mazingira yetu. Kwa Pamoja vitendo vyetu vidogo vitageuka mabadiliko makubwa”Katika mwaka huu wa 2024 ambao viwango vya joto duniani vimevunja rekodi duniani, watoto na vijana wanaendelea kupaza sauti zao wakihimiza viongozi wa dunia kuchukua hatua za haraka zinazohitajika ili kushughulikia janga la mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Georgina anasema Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF liko mstari wa mbele, lakini sasa ni wakati wa mshikamano kwa ajili ya mazingira bora kwa watoto wa leo, na wa zama zijazo..“Kwa viongozi wa dunia walioko hapa leo, hii si kazi ya UNICEF pekee. UNICEF inafanya kazi nzuri na sisi watoto, lakini tunahitaji msaada wako ili kujenga ulimwengu wa kesho ambapo hakuna mtoto anayepaswa kuchagua kati ya afya na elimu yake; ambapo hakuna mtoto anayekunywa maji yasiyo salama; hakuna mtoto anayekosa shule kwa sababu ya masuala yanayohusiana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi; na ambapo kila mtoto ana nafasi ya kuwa na afya bora na elimu bora.”Georgina anatamatisha kwa kusisitiza kuwa janga la mabadiliko ya tabianchi limenyima watoto haki zao hivyo kwa kila mtu...“Kumbuka unapolinda mazingira unalinda afya, elimu na ndoto za watoto. Mtoto mwenye afya bora na elimu bora anaweza kubadilisha ulimwengu.”Ama kweli watoto wana haki ya kuishi katika mazingira salama!

Jana Jumapili ya Septemba 22 viongozi wa dunia walipitisha Mkataba wa Zama Zijazo. Mkataba huu unalenga kukabili changamoto za karne ya 21 kuanzia mizozo, mabadiliko ya tabianchi, haki za binadamu, hadi taarifa potofu na za uongo. Maeneo Matano makuu ni pamoja na maendeleo endelevu, amani na usalama duniani, sayansi na teknolojia, vijana na vizazi vijavyo na marekebisho ya usimamizi wa dunia, kipengele muhimu wakati huu ambapo taasisi za fedha za kimataifa na Umoja wa Mataifa wenyewe wameshindwa kuja na majawabu ya karne ya 21. Mkataba wa Kimataifa wa Kidijitali unaoelenga pamoja na mambo mengine usimamizi bora wa Akili Mnemba, pamoja na Azimio kwa ajili ya Vizazi Vijavyo linalotaka serikali za sasa kutilia maanani vizazi vijavyo zinapopitisha maamuzi yao ya leo, ni sehemu ya viambatanishi vya Mkataba huu wa Zama Zijazo. Assumpta Massoi ametaka kufahamu maoni ya vijana baada ya hatua hii, na ndio mada yetu kwa kina siku ya leo. 

Hapa Makao Makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa New York Marekani ambako mkutano wa Zama Zijazo umen'goa nanga leo kwa siku mbili za kuchua hatua kabla ya kikao cha ngazi ya juu siku ya Jumapili na Jumatatu.

Flora Nducha wa Idhaa hii amezungumza na kijana mwenye ulemavu kutoka Tanzania ambaye ni mmoja wa wazungumzaji  wa mkutao wa leo. Anaanza kwa kujitambulisha.

Leo hapa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa jijini New York, Marekani vijana kutoka kila kona ya dunia wanakutana kuanza kujadili kuhusu mstakabali wao katika zama zijazo. Miongoni mwao ni Jerop Limo kutoka Kenya anayetumia uzoefu wake wa kuishi na Virusi Vya Ukimwi kwa miaka 24 ya umri wake kuhakikisha ulimwengu unakuwa mahali bora kwa watu ambao tayari wanaishi na virusi hivyo. Anold Kayanda amezungumza naye na hapa Jerop Limo anaanza kwa kueleza yale ambayo atawaeleza viongozi wa ulimwengu.

So it was a real pleasure to invite CEIP's Stewart Patrick back into the Virtual Studio to talk about this critical UN Summit – the Summit of the Future (SoTF). This Summit will take place this year on September 22nd -23rd. The effort leading to this Summit began with the 75th UN anniversary and the call for the Secretary General (SG) to prepare recommendations for the future. And he in turn prepared the Report - “Our Common Agenda” among many recommendations the SG proposed a Summit of the Future (SoTF). The General Assembly then decided that the SoTF would take place in September 2024, building on the earlier Sustainable Development Goals summit in September 20203 – the ‘SDG Summit'. The outcome envisioned for the SoTF would be an intergovernmentally negotiated, action-oriented ‘Pact for the Future'. Stewart Patrick is senior fellow and director of the Global Order and Institutions Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP). His primary areas of research focus are the shifting foundations of world order, the future of American internationalism, and the requirements for effective multilateral cooperation on transnational challenges. Stewart is an expert in the history and practice of multilateralism, He is the author of three books, including: The Sovereignty Wars: Reconciling America with the World; Weak Links: Fragile States, Global Threats, and International Security; and The Best Laid Plans: The Origins of American Multilateralism and the Dawn of the Cold War. He has authored many articles, essays, chapters, and reports on problems of world order, U.S. global engagement, the United Nations and other international organizations, and the management of global issues.

Control. Think. Execute. Today is the anniversary of the D.C. Cherry Road Townhouse Fire of 99', and our guest is Lieutenant Joe Morgan. On May 30, 1999, firefighters responded to a box alarm involving a townhouse fire. The initial report came in as a house fire, and it was later reported that the fire was in the basement (all firefighters did not receive the follow-up report of fire in the basement). Engine 26 (lieutenant and 3 firefighters) was the first to arrive on the scene and reported smoke showing on the front of a row of townhouses. The event quickly went from bad to worse as the firefighters entered the building. Many lessons were learned at this tragic event and today Lieutenant Joe Morgan shares his experience and journey as he walks us through that day. More: https://sonsoftheflag.org/

In April 2003 in Iraq, Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell flew a mission that defied logic and common sense. Responding to a call for help from a ground force about to be overrun, KC risked her own life to save them. The enemy always gets a vote, and then Captain Campbell's A-10 was almost shot down. With no hydraulics, in a plane that shouldn't have been able to fly, KC did what only 2 or 3 other pilots have lived through- she flew her A-10 back to friendly control in manual reversion. For her actions that day, she was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Colonel Campbell was kind enough to talk about her amazing career- from becoming the first father/daughter Cadet Wing Commander pair at the United States Air Force Academy, to pilot training, to becoming an A-10 pilot, to her current passion project, the Special Operations Transition Foundation. Her dedication to service continues to this day- and we can now add "Best Selling Author" to her list of remarkable accolades. Pre-order her first book, "Flying In The Face Of Fear- A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Leading With Courage" on Amazon- https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Face-Fear-Fighter-Lessons/dp/1394152353 .If you are a Special Operator getting ready to transition out of the service, check out SOTF.org for all the help you need for the next step in your journey. We are truly honored to tell the story of Col Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell, and we appreciate her coming on.

Today, we are excited to have a very special guest, on for what was our Veterans Day, and hear the incredible story of Captain George Burk! George Burk, keynote speaker, trainer, author, Vietnam veteran and sought after speaker inspires and motivates people wherever he speaks. In 1970, George was the sole survivor of 14 passengers in a military plane crash. He suffered burns over 65% of his body and multiple internal injuries. His rescue and recovery have been called a miracle. He spent 90 days in intensive care, and 18 months in the hospital. For over nine months after leaving intensive care, he was paralyzed and not expected to walk again. While in the ICU, he had two Near-Death Experiences (NDE's). He saw the bridge, saw the door, and saw the light. He believes we all have guardian angels. George says, "If you expect a difference, make one and if you want a miracle, be one." His belief in God and messages of faith, hope, perseverance, commitment and to never give-up inspires and challenges audiences to be all they can be. If you know of an organization or company who could benefit from hearing George's message, or who is seeking an outstanding keynote speaker or trainer, please put us in contact with each other. Email George with the name of the group, or company, contact name, address and phone number.

On today's episode, our badass guest is Zachary Sutterfield, a young burn survivor doing incredible things to change lives and save others. To find out more about Zach viist @ZacharyRecovery on Facebook. Zach is a 21 year-old student, son, brother and friend who is fighting to live what he calls his best life after a fire drastically changed the life he knew. In the early morning hours on July 20, 2018, Zach was asleep in the Iconic Village Apartments when the apartment complex was set on fire. Zach and his two friends, Haley Frizzell and David Ortiz, fled from the apartment. David ran one way, Haley ran the other, and Zach jumped from the second story. The paramedics later said they had never seen anyone that burned before…alive, and they truly did not expect him to live. He was immediately flown to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, where he was treated for third degree burns on 70% of his body and a traumatic brain injury. He was given a 20% chance to live that increased to 50% as he kept making it through the days that followed. Zach is a miracle. His heart is full of fight and positivity as his learns to navigate his new life that he dedicates to the friends he lost. Of course his new life, or “best life” as he calls it, is still an uphill battle full of surgeries and rehab. Zach has currently had 24 surgeries with more to come, his TBI is still trying to heal itself, he has worked on loving what he sees in the mirror, and is adjusting to the challenges of his new body. However, the challenges he faces every day are not the only battles he fights. One of the most difficult parts about this awful tragdey is not having justice. The fire was ruled arson and the party responsible has not been found. Five people died on July 20th and Zach will forever have to navigate his new “best life” differently. https://sonsoftheflag.org/

In the latest episode of the SOTF podcast, I'm joined by Jackie Stratton, a registered Maine Guide, and Maine master naturalist. We talked about everything from Jackie's passion for the outdoors and how it started, her path to becoming a Maine guide and hunter, and how she wants to build a guide service that specifically aims to provide guiding trips for women, families, queer and trans folks, and other groups that don't often get representation in the outdoor industry.  This is a great chat,  touching on a lot of topics that I think need more exposure in the Guiding/Outdoor Education conversations that are always occurring around campfires. Jackie was a great host, and you can find her at the Waterways guiding website, as well as on Instagram, and Airbnb if you want a nice spot to enjoy a quiet weekend.
