SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STARTS WITH SAFE, HEALTHY AND WELL-EDUCATED CHILDREN

a post-2015 world fit for children | In this paper, we explore the dynamic and dramatic interplay between the realization of children’s rights and sustainable development. The evidence presented makes a powerful case for why and how these issues must be directly addressed in the discussions towards a Post-2015 Development Agenda and the eventual framework that will emerge. It is a call to action for decision-makers to invest in children’s rights and well-being as an integral means to achieving sustainable development.
