Abstract
Adolescents have shifted into the focus of global policy, reflecting their central role in achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [1,2]. With 1.2 billion adolescents aged 10–19 years, the largest adolescent population in human history, representing more than 16% of the world's population, investments in adolescent health and well-being will yield benefits not only for adolescents now but also for their adult lives and future generations [3,4].
