Congratulations to @AmbCathyRussell, new executive director of @UNICEF starting in 2022! Building back better post-pandemic starts with protecting our children's health through securing healthy environments that allow them to survive and thrive & protect us from future pandemics

💰💰💰$10 trillion: Amount G20 countries have spent to prop up their economies
How can we ensure that no child is left behind as the world works to recover from COVID-19?
