Children from across the globe informed the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’ next General Comment on Sustainable Development. Children shared how sustainable development affects and connects with economic, social, and cultural rights. Now, the Committee has created videos sharing the main takeaways from its discussions with children.

Two members of the Committee Drafting Group, Mr Peters Emuze and Mr Michael Windfuhr gave an update to all the children that participated in the consultation on where they are in the development of the General Comment.
