During a discussion on early childhood development, the High Commissioner for Human Rights underscored that 80 per cent of the human brain is formed in the first three years of life, as he appealed for a reset in youth-centred policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestments in early childhood are one of the smartest ways to achieve sustainable economic development; studies indicate that the economic return can be up to 13 times the amount invested,\u201d he insisted. Citing South Africa&#8217;s Child Support Grant and the Bolsa Familia programme in Brazil, the High Commissioner pointed out that they \u201chelp to ensure that children born into the toughest circumstances can still have the most essential needs covered\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s threats to children are also virtual, and youngsters everywhere lack the tools to stay safe online, Mr. T\u00fcrk continued, before warning that children\u2019s access to food, basic sanitation and drinking water remains unequal across the world; two in five lack access even to basic sanitation.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change is also likely to make children and future generations more vulnerable, Mr. T\u00fcrk told the Council, noting that in the next 30 years, eight times as many children could be exposed to extreme heat waves and twice as many to extreme wildfires.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising the wider benefit to society of early childhood development, Dr. Najat Maalla M\u2019jid, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General on violence against children, said that that \u201ceven the very youngest and those in the most vulnerable situations have rights, including rights to development, protection and participation\u201d, as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.<\/p>\n<p>More than one million new neural connections form every second in the first few years of life, the practicing paediatrician explained, as she warned of the long-term impacts on very young children\u2019s health, learning and behaviour when caregivers are unable to provide nurturing and safe care.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2025\/03\/1161111\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/conflict-hunger-poverty-impede-childrens-early-development-turk\/\">Conflict, hunger, poverty impede children\u2019s early development: T\u00fcrk<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[1300,4295,2467,1751,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-138309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-children","tag-conflict","tag-hunger","tag-poverty","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138309\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
