Nearly four years on, humanitarian access in Afghanistan remains highly challenging, with numerous impediments imposed by the De-facto Authorities (DfA). These authorities have established a complex and often ambiguous legal and regulatory environment, compelling aid organizations to navigate a landscape that lacks formal international recognition and is governed by evolving local frameworks. As a result, humanitarian actors face significant operational and legal hurdles.
Disasters, climate change, and environmental degradation present significant and escalating threats to the well-being of children globally, jeopardizing the progress achieved in child survival and development. Over a billion children are exposed to severe risks from climate and environmental hazards such as heatwaves, droughts, floods, and cyclones. Consequently, it is imperative for countries to establish climate-resilient, low-carbon social services encompassing water and sanitation, healthcare, education, nutrition, social protection, and child protection to tackle current threats and prepare for increasingly severe impacts.
In alignment with our commitment to protect children and young people worldwide, UNICEF launched its Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan (SCAP) 2023 - 2030. The SCAP prioritizes urgent climate action through systematic partnerships with public and private sector institutions to prioritize the needs of children and young people and build their resilience to the climate threats at hand. The SCAP strives to mainstream sustainability and climate action both internally and externally, through protecting the lives, health and well-being of children and their communities; empowering children with developmental opportunities and skills; and reducing emissions and the environmental footprint within UNICEF.
