Immunization isn’t just a health intervention—it’s one of the smartest investments we can make. It saves 2–3M lives annually and returns up to $44 for every $1 spent When children miss vaccines, the cost is far greater—in lives, health, and futures.

It was a pleasure to meet with H.E. Ambassador Leann Johnston & @DFAT's Ms Lucienne Manton. We appreciate their longstanding support towards advancing the rights of children and young people in South Asia.

Last week I was in Afghanistan and witnessed the return of Afghans from Iran. Among them were children on their own with no place to go. Please listen and help us support them - more are arriving every day.

In our connected world, declining immunization in one region threatens health everywhere. To safeguard our future, governments, partners and communities must unite to protect hard-won progress—and move toward a world where no one suffers from a vaccine-preventable diseases.

A mother's nutrition before conception is a critical determinant of her baby's growth, gene expression, and future well-being. Our new papers with The Lancet Reg Health-Southeast Asia talk about what is needed to improve preconception nutrition in South Asia, so every mother and baby is healthy.

As United Nations SG António Guterres said “the world has much to learn from Nepal’s climate leadership.” With children and young people at the center of this dialogue, I’m confident the solutions we shape will be more relevant, equitable, and truly aligned with their needs and future.

We extend our deepest condolences to the families who have lost their children and stand in solidarity with all those affected. Children should be protected at all times. They are not, and must never be, the targets of violence.

Thrilled to hear that Maldives has become the first country in South Asia to finalise its #NDCs, securing its reputation as a trailblazer in climate action. It's also a shining example of what it means to make climate policy inclusive: uni.cf/3F5fgcu

Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, fellow students & the entire community affected by this devastating event in Pakistan. Violence against children is never acceptable. Schools must be sanctuaries of safety and learning, where children are nurtured and protected.

When children with disabilities miss out on stimulation, nutrition, or early learning, the consequences can last a lifetime. Our latest report calls for urgent, system-wide action to turn inclusion from rhetoric into reality: Uni.cf/452Gj2N
