About the Book

Inspired by the courage and conviction of young leaders like Greta Thunberg, Walter Leslie Christman has made it his life's mission to empower the next generation to take bold steps toward reshaping global resilience. As co-founder of the One Million Youth Leaders for Sustainable Development Beyond 2030 (1M2030) initiative-launched in collaboration with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)-he has helped ignite a global movement of young changemakers who are not waiting for a better world-they are creating it. "So, we can't save the world by playing by the rules because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change, and it has to start today." - Greta Thunberg Christman's journey-from service in the U.S. Army Special Forces to international diplomacy and strategic foresight-reflects a lifelong commitment to peace, security, and global cooperation. Drawing on decades of experience, he offers a bold new vision for a united global community grounded in human security, environmental sustainability, and transformational education. At the heart of his approach is Reciprocal Freedom, a dynamic balance between personal autonomy and collective responsibility. It is a values-based framework that empowers individuals while strengthening the bonds that hold communities together. Christman bridges top-down alliances-like those between the UN and its member states-with grassroots action from communities, cities, youth leaders, and private sector partners. His groundbreaking book presents a transformative path forward aligned with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It dismantles outdated narratives and offers fresh perspectives for resilient change and transforming nations through Connected Sovereignty. It addresses today's most critical global threats-climate change, social fragmentation, economic inequality, and more-while inviting each reader to join the movement. Enriched with a facilitation guide featuring 25 real-world applications, this is more than a call to action-it's a practical toolkit for educators, leaders, and change-makers at every level. Christman urges us to "be love, have joy; have courage, be empowered" as we face the defining challenges of our time. This book is a manifesto for youth-led global change, crucial for the rest of the 21st century. Whether you're a policymaker, an educator, or a young leader ready to make a difference, this is your invitation to help shape a future where resilience and equity are not just ideals but realities. Don't forget to get the "Empowering Change: Answering the Call to Action" Facilitation Guide, the perfect companion to this book.
