As digital tech reshapes the world of work, too many young people—especially girls—are being left behind. @UNICEF and partners are changing that—scaling digital, AI and leadership skills to give every young person a chance to thrive. @Forbes forbes.com/sites/unicefus…
A powerful read from @ADB_HQ on how rising temperatures are disproportionately affecting women’s lives, health, and livelihoods. We cannot build resilience without addressing this growing climate and gender crisis. adb.org/multimedia/gen…
Great insights from Shaun Seow of @PAA_Temasek on the power of catalytic capital. When done right, philanthropy can drive far-reaching impact—scaling climate solutions & safeguarding children’s futures. @straits_times straitstimes.com/singapore/can-…

Immunization progress is real, but millions of children still miss out on life-saving vaccines. Closing this gap makes sense ethically and economically: for every $1 spent on vaccination in low- & middle-income countries, more than $22 is saved in healthcare and other costs.
More than 14 million children around the world have not received a single dose of any vaccine, according to new data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF. This is 4 million more children than the 2024 target set by the WHO. abcnews.link/qc8zW5q
