The Child Atlas helps you to understand child-relevant data in context: for instance you can already compare different indicators or learn more in our growing number of blogs. We now added two new features to make this even easier: 1) A new context toggle allows you to quickly indicate on a map if a country faces specific challenges (conflict, hunger, high climate risk or debt). 2) We added more information about each indicator and links to related tools directly into the Child Atlas.

Children are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. We explore with Kitty van der Heijden from UNICEF how climate impacts children’s health, education, and safety—and what’s being done to protect their futures. Watch the full video to learn more. https://lnkd.in/eDzbCT3V

Check out the new contextual layer added to the Child Atlas which shows country specific crises and insecurities in the global map!

This evening I started an online graduate certificate program called Climate Change and Health at the Yale School of Public Health, and we discussed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report from 2023. This infographic really caught my eye, and maybe you will find it compelling as well: below are five future emission scenarios for kids born in 2020 depending on the choices implemented today by decision-makers.

Climate change is a global health emergency and our researchers are leading the way in understanding and mitigating its impacts. Discover how climate change intersects with public health and the opportunities we have to build a better future. https://lnkd.in/ehQQC7Cp Join us October 18 for Destination Public Health to learn about cutting-edge climate research and explore how our programs prepare students to lead in climate and health initiatives.

Ageing costs in Slovenia are expected to increase from 22.1% of GDP in 2022 to 26.0% of GDP in 2045 and to 27.5% of GDP in 2070. With the exception of education expenditure, all categories of age related public spending are expected to increase by 2070, but to the largest extent pension expenditure (from 9.8% of GDP in 2022 to 13.7% of GDP in 2070), which otherwise represent the highest share of total ageing costs. Long-term budgetary projections for Slovenia have improved considerably, which has important implications for public finance sustainability. Total ageing costs are expected to increase by 2.7 percentage points less than in the Ageing Report 2021. The projections of all spending categories have improved, but the most for pension expenditure (by 1.9 percentage points). So happy I got to be a part of this! :) Katja Lautar Franci Kluzer

This is clearly indoctrination- "The development process has confirmed that we must move beyond educating about climate change toward educating for climate action and justice." #education #climate #indoctrination This is one reason I support school choice ! If the new guidelines are going to not teach science and facts, but rather teach an ideology it is time to run away from the public education system that is doing or pushing this approach. If you are looking for a well balance fact based look at the issue of climate, I would suggest https://lnkd.in/ewFEmwH4 and a reference book titled "Global-Warming Alarmists, Skeptics and Deniers: A Geoscientist Looks at the Science of Climate Change" (https://amzn.to/3bSpRX8)
