SG @antonioguterres outlines the @UN's priorities for 2025.
His leadership inspires and his words call us to action: "We will never lose sight of hope. Sticking to principles. Speaking the truth. Never giving up".
Together, we can be a force for hope—reducing inequalities, fostering peace, and accelerating the SDGs.

Children do not start wars.
But they pay the highest price for them.
More than 1 in 6 children globally now live in areas affected by conflict.
Wherever they are, children must be protected.
Always.

I am in close contact with our brilliant humanitarian teams in Syria and across region to ensure:
they have support they need; we coordinate vigorously and communicate openly; we anticipate needs. We’ll also convene key partners in advance of my imminent visit to region.

I Iove this (endearing!) story of how collaborations are built, strengthened by difference, curiosity and respect. And incidental chats!
This is the way we will find the innovative solutions we’re needing in the face of the complexities of child-centred policies and practices.

This important new report provides clear evidence of disparities in access to CAMHS for children with a social worker – despite evidence also showing that these children may have poorer mental health than their peers
🧵 New report
Our study with @Cambridge_Uni shows disparities in access to NHS youth mental health services.
Children with social work involvement for current concerns & those from the most deprived areas are far more likely to be rejected.
