Children's Environmental Health Collaborative: A Strategic Partnership for Governments

The Children’s Environmental Health Collaborative, established by UNICEF, World Bank and the UN Environment Programme, stands as a vital multi-stakeholder initiative dedicated to safeguarding the health and well-being of children from the detrimental effects of environmental degradation and climate change. Governments have access to a wealth of resources, technical expertise, networking opportunities and robust policy support. These benefits empower governments to develop and implement effective children’s environmental health programmes, ultimately contributing to a healthier future for their youngest citizens leading to a more productive future workforce and driving economic growth.
