The report noted that, despite dramatic improvements in survival, nutrition, and education over recent decades, today’s children face an uncertain future.
“This Commission presents the case for placing children, aged 0–18 years, at the centre of the SDGs: at the heart of the concept of sustainability and our shared human endeavour. Titled, ‘A Future for the World’s Children?’ the report finds that the health and future of every child and adolescent worldwide is under immediate threat from ecological degradation, climate change and exploitative marketing practises that push heavily processed fast food, sugary drinks, alcohol and tobacco at children.
“Countries need to overhaul their approach to child and adolescent health, to ensure that we not only look after our children today but protect the world they will inherit in the future,” Clark added. Also reacting to the report, UNICEF Nigeria Representative, Claes Johansson, said, “This demonstrates how far we still need to go in Nigeria to ensure children can live healthy lives in an environment where they can thrive.
