Access to #CleanEnergy can advance children’s rights to health 🏥, education 🎒, adequate standard of living 🏠 and healthy environment 🌲. However, it needs to be managed without exacerbating #ChildRights risks.

We are at a critical point in time where #Business and #Governments will need to implement profound changes. If they get it right, we will be 1️⃣ step closer to shaping a world where #Children can enjoy their rights, live in & inherit a fair society and a liveable planet 💪🌍💙

There must be an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and an end to the senseless killing of children.

[Catherine Russell @unicefchief]

Images of burned children & families emerging from bombed tents in #Rafah shocks us all. The reported killing of children sheltering in makeshift tents is unconscionable. For over 7 months, we've witnessed this tragedy unfold, resulting in thousands of children killed or injured.

[Bertrand Bainvel @unicefEUchief]

Another step in the right direction, and a key milestone for the protection of children by businesses operating from and in 🇪🇺. Beyond the scope of the Directive, @Europarl_EN sends a message to all firms- "children's rights are your business too".

[Heidi Hautala @HeidiHautala]

Today, after years of work, countless hours of negotiations and political turmoil, the #CSDDD is finally ADOPTED! Exactly one year after the tragic collapse of Rana Plaza.

EU:n yritysvastuudirektiivi on viimein HYVÄKSYTTY!

[UNICEF Representation to EU Institutions @UNICEF_EU]

1/2 This is an initial step in the right direction towards an #EU🇪🇺that takes action to ensure business respects #ChildRights. We commend @EU2024BE for their efforts to find an agreement for the #CSDDD, paving the way for a more comprehensive Directive in the future.

[Claire Bright @clairerabright]

It is important to remind these findings from our EC study: the average cost of mandatory due diligence compared to the revenue of companies amount to less than 0.14% for SMEs and 0.009% for large companies. A small price to pay to uphold human rights and environmental standards!
