Clean, safe and secure environments to support Early Childhood Development

Advocacy on ECD, Climate Change, Environmental Degradation to

put young children at the heart of climate actions

 

ARNEC will be in Dubai for COP28 this December 2023. Together with partners, we will co-host and participate in a series of side events to elevate Nurturing Care in ECD as a cost-effective investment to achieve climate resilience and sustainable development across climate vulnerable Asia-Pacific.

For COP28, we are sharing our ECD Climate COP28 Resource Pack jointly developed by ARNEC and its partners. 

We are grateful to Dr Adrián Cerezo (University of Maine) for his visionary leadership in guiding our work on this important intersection. Special thanks to Save the Children, UNICEF EAPRO, the Bernard van Leer Foundation, Early Opportunities, Early Start of University of Wollongong Australia, Vital Strategies, Early Childhood Regional Networks Fund and our country partners for the support provided during the development of various ECD Climate resources.

Young children from conception to pre-primary school age are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. But they are also our most valuable group in the fight against these impacts. Supporting nurturing care policies and programs is a smart investment to help us win this fight.
