Today is International Migrants Day: Around the world, millions of children and families are fleeing their homes to escape armed conflict, poverty, persecution and violence. Millions are displaced by extreme weather events or migrate to escape the devastating impacts of climate change. Others are seeking opportunities to pursue their aspirations for education and livelihoods, or to reunite with families.  Many of these children face danger, detention, deprivation, and discrimination. The world must stand up for them. Children on the move are children first and foremost. They are entitled to the same rights as every child under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Recently we spoke with Josiah Kaplan, PhD about the challenges facing children on the move as part of our Present Imperfect podcast series. You can listen here: https://lnkd.in/dANhhuHz

From the IGF session on Data Governance for Children: EdTech, NeuroTech, and FinTech, experts explored how these technologies impact children and the measures needed to safeguard their rights. Steven Edwin Vosloo, Digital Foresight & Policy Specialist, noted:
"Neurotechnology is not advancing in a regulatory vacuum. It impacts children in invasive and non-invasive ways, urging governments to map gaps and strengthen protections." Jasmina Byrne, Chief of Foresight & Policy, highlighted:
"Financial technologies empower children to engage in the digital economy through digital financial services." Balancing innovation with strong protections is essential to create opportunities while ensuring children’s safety and well-being in the digital age. #ForEveryChild every child.

What will the world of tomorrow look like for the children of today? We looked at four scenarios for the long-term future, exploring the impact of different paths on development, climate, and geopolitics. Each scenario presents unique challenges and opportunities, offering policymakers a forward-looking framework to anticipate future development trajectories.

Generating evidence is the key to everything we do at UNICEF Innocenti. And generating that evidence, more often than not, involves people. Involving real people in our work brings risks because so often we focus on children, young people, the marginalized and the vulnerable. The rights of children must always be respected and upheld, and we must always be accountable and worthy of trust.  Learn more about how we ensure the gathering of evidence on which our work is based is ethical, and find resources you can use right here: https://lnkd.in/dpwEvTVS
