UNICEF's 2023 report on Goal Area 4 underscores the critical need for safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services, especially amid escalating climate challenges. Despite progress, over 2.2 billion people lack safe drinking water, and 3.5 billion are without safe sanitation. Children are disproportionately affected, with 739 million exposed to high water scarcity and 436 million living in areas of high water vulnerability. In 2023, UNICEF facilitated access to safe water for nearly 36 million people, including over 1.5 million with disabilities, and provided basic WASH services to over 7,500 schools and 3,000 healthcare facilities. The launch of the Sustainability and Climate Change Action Plan (SCAP) 2023–2030 marks a significant step toward integrating child-focused climate resilience into global frameworks.
