Building A Sustainable World for All Children: Ten Priorities for BRICS
Ten Priorities from the BRICS Child Futures Forum
Highlights
THE BRICS CHILD FUTURES FORUM convened in Lucknow, India, comes at a time of great uncertainty, increasing climate anxiety, rapid technological development, escalating geopolitical conflict and a slowing down of human and social development progress. In this reality, the Forum brought together policymakers, BRICS Academic Forum delegates, experts, partners, and youth representatives to advance a shared agenda for children.
For the over billion children in BRICS nations, investments made today in social protection, health, nutrition, education and care will determine the future strength, productivity, resilience and prosperity of our societies. Child development is therefore not only a social imperative but also a strategic investment in human capital, economic transformation and sustainable development.
