Guidance for EU decision-makers for 2024-2029
UNICEF calls on EU decision-makers to prioritize children's rights through key actions in the new political cycle
Highlights
The decisions of the new European Union (EU) leadership – its legislation, policy, practices and funding – have an enormous impact on children’s lives inside and outside the European Union.
The upcoming EU political cycle (2024-2029), following the European Elections in June 2024, presents a crucial opportunity to place the youngest generations at the heart of the European project, which is essential for their future and the future of Europe.
Taking into account the situation of children in the EU and the rest of the world and the EU’s ambition to fight poverty, reduce inequalities, adapt to climate change, and uphold human rights, UNICEF has three main messages for European political parties in the next European Parliament elections outlined in this guidance for EU decision-makers for 2024-2029.
- Champion children's rights
- Make the EU budget work for children
- Strengthen governance for children
