🌍 #UNUYouthMonth Spotlight 🌍

Alexander Tajmar, Youth Fellow at #UNUINWEH, encourages us to look forward — not just to the future we want, but to the future selves we hope to become.

And that future depends on what we do now to protect our climate and environment.

New from #UNUINWEH:
A review of 73 studies shows that unsafe #water in the Global South leads to unequal health outcomes—especially for women and children.

Despite the risks, Africa remains underrepresented in the data.
