The ongoing El Niño event is the strongest on record.

Many of the countries most at risk are also those where child poverty is highest and social protection is weakest.

Investing in social protection is critical to protect children and prevent lasting harm.

2028 will be the year of #CareAndSupport.

Take a look at our infographic to explore the milestones in care and support work over the last decade and in the years to come.

A detailed infographic titled "Towards the Year of Care and Support: 2028." It features a timeline between 2015 and 2027 with various milestones in between. It also includes a subtitle: "What we continue to emphasize all the way to 2028 and beyond." Under this, there are following messages:
-Care and support needs change across the life course
-Care and support receivers should be involved in the design of care and support
-Children, including those with disabilities, are both caregivers and care and support recipients
-Adolescent mothers face a double disadvantage: gender and age
-Care and support policies are essential for women's access to skills, decent jobs and livelihoods
-Care and support policies should be bolstered in low- and middle-income countries
-Care workers need decent work, labour rights, social protection and representation
-More and better data on paid and unpaid care work are essential
-Care and support systems should be financed through inclusive social protection
