Pernilla Baralt (The Executive Director of UNICEF Sweden) is sharing the story of The Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI). It is a UNICEF-led initiative that supports local governments in realizing the rights of children at the local level using the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as its foundation. It is also a network that brings together government and other stakeholders such as civil society organizations, the private sector, academia, media and, importantly, children themselves who wish to make their cities and communities more child-friendly. We are talking about how children are suffering because of COVID19 and what can we adults do in order to save lives, education and more.Very interesting and powerful actions that UNICEF is doing to empower the different aspects especially when it comes to children. e.g. the drones are taking the medical support to deliver it to the villages. Do not miss our talk about what is a smart city. Read more https://childfriendlycities.org/ Thank you Landskapslaget (Landscape architecture, urban planning and design) for sponsoring this episode.
