We welcome the GC26 and its call for climate finance mechanisms to use a child rights-based approach, and the expectation that financial institutions (like the @WorldBank) address actual and potential adverse climate-related impacts on children

ALT What is the Role of Multilateral Development Banks in Facilitating Reparation for Child Victims and Survivors of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse? In this submission, CPC and BIC call on the Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children to: 1. Address and recognize MDBs' responsibilities as duty bearers in their 2023 thematic report on reparation for child victims and survivors of sale and sexual exploitation; 2. Call on the Bank and other MDBs to close the gaps and address the challenges between policy and practice to prevent and respond to child SEA/H and also provide a survivor-centric reparation; and 3. Include concrete recommendations on ways that MDBs can enhance their efforts to provide reparations for child survivors of SEA/H. Read the submission at bankinformationcenter.org
