We are only 7 years away from the end of the 2030 Agenda. The global landscape has changed drastically since the launch of the SDGs - we have witnessed unprecedented crises, the climate emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic, increased conflicts, heightened food prices, and inflation, affecting primarily the most vulnerable, including children. It is therefore more than time to take stock of the child poverty related SDG indicators of ending extreme child poverty and halving multidimensional child poverty.

The objective of the webinar is to present the latest global child poverty trends, covering both monetary child poverty and multidimensional child poverty.
