Coastal flooding and erosion challenge Kiribati. Preschoolers learn about mangroves; other children plant them along the shore. People here meet risk with resilience

In Kiribati, one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, a girl stands in the water ready to play. But her right to a safe and healthy future is under threat. At #COP30, world leaders must turn promises into action. Heart 💙 to show your support.

Investing in children is the wisest choice a government can make. 🔵Immunization saves 4.4M lives annually. 🔵Clean water & sanitation prevent up to 1.4M deaths yearly. 🔵Every $1 spent on education increases GDP on average by $20. It benefits everyone, now and in the future.
