Children in all policies: lessons from a global collaboration to promote the health and wellbeing of children and future generations

The authors investigate how to effectively integrate children's needs, perspectives, and rights into public policies to enhance their health and wellbeing, as highlighted by the WHO-UNICEF-Lancet Commission. They present lessons learned from the global collaboration "Children in All Policies 2030," which aims to implement these recommendations through participatory and intersectoral approaches, while addressing challenges such as policy-making assumptions and children's rights to participation. The study emphasizes the importance of engaging children's voices and leveraging political opportunities to achieve sustainable development goals for future generations.
