Benita, 11, from Ghana reminds us that every child has the right to education. When that right is fulfilled, it opens the door to other rights such as the right to play, to build friendships, to learn from one another and to belong. Friendship can nurture happiness, well-being and self-confidence, shaping a brighter world #ForEveryChild. Mention a friend who makes you feel supported and seen. 🩵 #WorldChildrensDay

The war in Ukraine forced 17-year-old Sofiia from Kharkiv to miss school, but with the help of UNICEF-supported catch-up classes, she’s back on track and now helping other children do the same. Here’s how she turned her challenges into a path toward becoming a doctor. #GirlGoals

From students to solar innovators! ⚡🌱 In Mongolia, 27 young people joined a four-day @genunlimited and UNICEF-supported renewable energy training. Now, they’re leading the way, teaching 2,000 more students about clean energy and helping develop solar-powered phone charging stations at schools. A better climate future is still in reach, but only if we act now to protect children and young people from the growing effects of the climate crisis. Governments and businesses must step up, invest in youth solutions, and ensure youth voices shape climate decisions at every level. #GreenRising #COP30

Joud, 16, from Gaza, loved going to school. But the war disrupted her education and displaced her family. UNICEF-supported temporary learning centres are providing children like Joud an opportunity to resume their education. So far, we have reached over 100,000 children across Gaza with learning support. “I come here every day because I want to achieve my dream — to become an engineer,” Joud says. To support the dreams of children like her, the ceasefire must be sustained and respected and children’s needs must be prioritized - now and in the future.

Every child has the right to breathe clean air. Yet millions are exposed daily to dangerous pollution at home, at school and on the streets. Solutions exist and a breath of fresh air is possible. Policies can help make clean choices possible so everyone can breathe easier. #COP30
