Young people shut out of decisions about their own future as government ignores public opposition to Crown Minerals Amendment Bill
We know that many folks in Aotearoa want to do good and share our vision of making the world better for kids. We also know that it’s not that easy for many to donate monthly or even regularly. So we thought we’d share other options sothat good-hearted New Zealanders can show up and do their bit in a meaningful way.
In the wake of COP 29, UNICEF Aotearoa Young Ambassador Olivia (18) from Waikane speaks up
For over 75 years, education has always been a core theme in our mahi around the world. A child’s right to learn is universal, no matter where they live or what their circumstances are. Whether it’s part of an emergency response or supporting governments with long term solutions, everything we do weaves in education.
For decades people across the world have seen images and campaign drives to help solve this problem of providing food for kids in dire circumstances ... which begs the question, are the donations and appeals making an impact? The short answer is yes, but like most things, it’s complicated.
In this edition of The Good News, we dive into three unique stories where solar power has ignited change that’ll have a positive impact for generations to come.
It’s been 12 months of unbelievable trauma and grief for millions of people. Kids caught up in the violence have been the urgent focus for thousands of UNICEF staff - both those on the frontlines and those around the world working tirelessly to support the children affected by this conflict. During this time many of our donors and supporters have been asking questions and so we've answered a list of some of the most frequently asked ones.
These are just a few of the stories of UNICEF’s helpers who've risking their safety and lives every single day for the last 12 months, all of whom have their own families and loved ones.
The climate crisis will have a cascade of impact on the mental health of kids and their families for generations. At UNICEF our interventions to address these are multi-pronged. Technology and innovation are crucial and practical ways to address the climate crisis and it’s knock on effects - but mental and emotional support is just as important in shifting the future for kids to one that’s more hopeful.
“When governments sign new oil and gas licences, they are signing away our future” – a damning indictment from the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres at the Pacific Islands Forum last week. An indictment that the New Zealand Government should pay heed to as it plans to open up oil and gas extraction once more. This reckless decision not only flies in the face of global commitments to lower emissions and keep warming to 1.5 degrees - it endangers the wellbeing of children here in Aotearoa, now and in the future.
