In Kiribati, one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, a girl stands in the water ready to play. But her right to a safe and healthy future is under threat.

At #COP30, world leaders must turn promises into action. Heart 💙 to show your support.

Investing in children is the wisest choice a government can make.

🔵Immunization saves 4.4M lives annually.
🔵Clean water & sanitation prevent up to 1.4M deaths yearly.
🔵Every $1 spent on education increases GDP on average by $20.

It benefits everyone, now and in the future.
