Following 2023\u2019s record-breaking temperatures, projected climate hazards will disproportionately affect children based on their socioeconomic settings and access to resources. \u201cChildren are experiencing a myriad of crises from climate shocks to online dangers, and these are set to intensity in the years to come,\u201d warned UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. \u201cCreating a better future in 2050 requires more than just imagination, it requires action. Decades of progress, particularly for girls, are under threat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The report also projects significant population changes, with Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia hosting the largest child populations by the 2050s. While still high, Africa\u2019s child population will drop below 40 per cent \u2013 down from 50 per cent in 2000s. East Asia and Western Europe\u2019s data show a 17 per cent drop compared to 29 perc cent and 20 percent for those regions during the 2000s. These demographic shifts create challenges, with some countries under pressure to expand services for large child populations, while others balance the needs of a growing elderly population.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/11\/1157221\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/11\/1157221\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/children-face-unprecedented-challenges-by-2050-unicef-report-warns\/\">Children face unprecedented challenges by 2050, UNICEF report warns<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4630,1300,2323,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-4630","tag-children","tag-unicef","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135549\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
