With 2050 just a quarter-century away, childhood holds a decisive place: it\u2019s today\u2019s children who will inhabit and confront that future. Preparing the ground for them means looking beyond adult-centric <\/a>perspectives<\/strong> that often reduce children to passive recipients and overlook their capacity for agency and autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPutting children at the center\u2014especially the most vulnerable\u2014requires assessing whether the policies and actions directed at them respect their contexts and realities,\u201d says Martha Roxana Vicente D\u00edaz<\/a>, a researcher at the School of Humanities and Education<\/a> at Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey and an expert in education for sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This idea aligns with a 2024 UNICEF report<\/a>, which raises the questions: How can we ensure that children fully enjoy their rights, and how can we build worlds where they can thrive and fulfill their potential?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answers aren\u2019t simple, but there are guiding principles that could shape future policies, including: non-discrimination, prioritizing children\u2019s best interests in public decisions, and guaranteeing their right to express their views, to survive, and to grow<\/a>. The latter, the report emphasizes, encompasses not only physical health but also mental, emotional<\/a>, cognitive, social, and cultural well-being.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
