All In: Towards Tangible Solutions for Equity and Inclusion in Education Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) All In: Towards Tangible Solutions for Equity and Inclusion in Education showcases promising practices that were successfully implemented to ensure that inclusive education really does include all children, so that the most marginalized learners – including children with disabilities, children who are out of school, children living in poverty, marginalized girls, and refugee children – have access to quality education. While many of the promising practices were initiated in response to the COVID-19 crisis, or draw upon the pandemic experience, they go beyond the immediate focus of pre- or post-COVID-19 education systems to an overall view of child well-being and the need to focus on skills for the 21st century. Many of these practices have the potential to be applied more widely within education systems and can be adapted and replicated by stakeholders in any context where innovative and inclusive approaches are needed to protect and promote children’s right to education. Ingenuity, flexibility and a commitment to true inclusion and forward-looking policies are the common thread of promising practices in this document. This publication is a complementary resource to the 2021 report: Reimagining Girls’ Education: Solutions to Keep Girls Learning in Emergencies. 
Adolescents in a Changing World: The Case for Urgent Investment Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: World Health Organization (WHO) | United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) This report focuses on the strong returns on investment associated with investing in adolescent health and well-being. Today, adolescents make up more than 16% of the world's population. They are a demographic that is often overlooked or misunderstood. Investments in adolescents can reduce inequalities and help to protect their human rights. The economic and social returns from a wide range of investments to address adolescent well-being are significant. The report makes a compelling case for investing in adolescents, they are living in a world facing multifaceted crises, and they will be tomorrow's changemakers and leaders. The staggering cost of inaction is estimated at US$110 trillion over a period of 27 years (2024-50). That amounts to 7.7% of the total GDP of those countries included in the models, which themselves include around 80% of the world's population. Many interventions will yield high returns, including those focused on health services and multisectoral interventions, for example on SRHR, HPV, TB, myopia, education and training, child marriage and road accident prevention. This evidence base is crucial for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, educators, donors, and civil society organizations as we map the road ahead for a better and more sustainable future. Investing in adolescent health and well-being strengthens the human capital of a country, and hence a country's potential for future development and for ending extreme poverty and creating more inclusive societies.

[Resumen] La crisis climática es una crisis de los derechos de la infancia: Presentación del Índice de Riesgo Climático de la Infancia Year of publication: 2021 Author: Nicholas Rees | Margaretha Barkhof | Jan Burdziej | Sophie Lee | Harriet Riley Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) La crisis climática es una crisis de los derechos de la infancia. El carácter extremo de las olas de calor, los incendios forestales y las inundaciones que hemos presenciado recientemente en muchos países son el presagio de una adversa “nueva normalidad”. Los efectos del cambio climático son evidentes. Pero también lo son las soluciones. Es inconcebible que los niños y jóvenes de hoy se enfrenten a un futuro incierto. En todo el mundo, con sus protestas, su actividad en las redes sociales y su compromiso comunitario y cívico, son numerosos los niños y los jóvenes que exigen un cambio en voz alta y con claridad. La forma tradicional de hacer las cosas no sirve de mucho. Este informe ofrece la primera panorámica integral de la exposición y vulnerabilidad de los niños a los efectos del cambio climático a través del Índice de Riesgo Climático de la Infancia (IRCI).
