This series of National Data Snapshots exploring data on the climate and inequality crisis is a collection of country briefings to support national advocacy to compliment the Generation Hope agenda for a greener and fairer future for children. The spotlights seek to include data on climate change, finance policy and outcomes for children, including data on SDG progress and government spending on education, health, social protection and food security and nutrition. Each makes recommendations to governments based on national priorities.

The key recommendations include:

• Prioritise, in the face of the current climate crisis and inequality, the urgency of promoting spaces for dialogue where children can have their voices taken into account in public decisions affecting them. It is important to address and mitigate the effects of climate change to ensure that other development efforts are successful and sustainable for children.
• Children and adolescents require direct information and training that is relevant to their contexts, based on their ages and capacities, accessible and permanent on environmental and climate issues in their territories and the country.
• Include a children’s approach in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the country’s climate action.
• Facilitate the financing and implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
