Evidence Gap Map
This evidence gap map is a visual tool designed to showcase the landscape of existing research on the intersection of climate change and child well-being. By systematically charting the available studies in various domains, this map highlights both the areas where there is a wealth of evidence and those where research is sparse.
EPIC: Engaging Policymakers in Intersectoral Collaboration for children in early childhood
Intersectoral action is key to improving early childhood development (ECD) outcomes, yet major evidence gaps persist about how intersectoral policies are successfully
designed and implemented
Building on formative work conducted by the CAP-2030 consortium, FLACSO-Argentina, the Center for Learning for Childhood Development–Ghana, and UCL are collaborating on a five-year research project funded by the U.K. National Institute for Health Research and Care (NIHR). The research aims to improve policymaking for ECD in Argentina and Ghana based on measurements of ECD status amongst target populations and via an intervention to improve collaborative policymaking amongst actors from government, civil society, community groups and children themselves.
The Commission report
The WHO–UNICEF–Lancet Commission report A future for the world’s children?, published in February 2020, was a landmark report calling for a new global movement to put the health and wellbeing of children and adolescents at the centre of national and global efforts to achieve sustainable development.
The Commission, chaired by the Right Honourable Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and Dr. Awa Marie Coll-Seck, Minister of State in Senegal, brought together 40 experts on child health to make a scientific and political argument about how to put the health and well-being of children, adolescents, and future generations at the centre of a healthier, more equitable and more sustainable world.
