Ishaan Shah, a 20-something student at King’s College, University of London, became seized with the problem of modern slavery while still a teenager. Now a youth activist whose work cuts across the United Nations system, he joins Nudhara Yusuf and Daniel Perell to talk about the need for young voices to be included in international forums not just for appearances but for “the plot”; in other words, to make a difference.
The Summit of the Future is an opportunity to reinvigorate multilateralism and the United Nations, Ishaan says, so long as UN member states can find ways to act on the decisions made by humanity in its grandest halls. UN Necessary’s second episode is part of a series of discussions with key diplomatic and civil society figures ahead of the 2024 Summit of the Future.
