🌍 In honor of World Children’s Day today, we want you to Meet Ferre Van Steenbergen, 12, the youngest member of the Belgian delegation in Baku! Supported by the organization @Grootouders_vKB, he travelled with his grandparents to raise awareness about the climate crisis and its impact on children. Ferre came here to meet world leaders and hand over a letter advocating for children's rights in a sustainable world: "I ask for attention for children so they can live in a sustainable world." He had the opportunity to speak with @KhattabiZakia and @MelissaDepr. #ClimateAction #YouthVoices 🌱✨ **** 🌍 Bu gün, Ümumdünya Uşaqlar Günü münasibətilə Sizi Bakıdakı Belçika nümayəndə heyətinin ən gənc üzvü, 12 yaşlı Ferre Van Steenbergen ilə tanış etmək istəyirik! O, Grootouders voor Klimaat (Nənə-babalar İqlim üçün) təşkilatının dəstəyi ilə iqlim böhranı və onun uşaqlara təsiri haqqında məlumatlılığı artırmaq üçün nənə və babası ilə səyahət etmişdir. Ferre bura dünya liderləri ilə görüşmək və dayanıqlı dünyada uşaq hüquqlarını müdafiə edən məktub təqdim etmək üçün gəlmişdir: “Uşaqların dayanıqlı bir dünyada yaşaya bilmələri üçün onlara diqqət yetirməyi xahiş edirəm.” O, @KhattabiZakia və @MelissaDepr ilə danışmaq imkanı qazandı. @BelgiumMFA

“Elk van ons kan met veel of weinig geld bijdragen aan de strijd tegen de #klimaatcrisis.  Alle onderzoek van de afgelopen 20 jaar wijst uit dat duurzame beleggingen even goed renderen als niet-duurzame beleggingen." Frans De Clerck - GvK ambassadeur hln.be/gent/denk-twee…

Devastating events like this can either be a cause for despair or they can become pivotal moments for change. And we need change. Because the consequences of the #ClimateCrisis are no longer simply a distant, abstract threat. They are already part of our everyday reality.

Een bindend kader op Europees niveau moet de lidstaten aanmoedigen om strategieën voor een rechtvaardige transitie echt te integreren in alle beleidskeuzes. 3/4

Rethinking financial education in a digital world - empowering not shaming - to ensure financial wellbeing & resilience. An insightful conversation with @chopracfpb moderated by @ClaerB #FinLit #MoneyMatters

@EU_Finance @McGuinnessEU @CFPB @FinancialTimes @chopracfpb @ClaerB I am sure that I was not the only one in the audience touched by this conversation where empathy met #finlit.

High-level conference on Financial literacy, resilience and inclusion continues with a ‘fireside chat’ with @McGuinnessEU, US @CFPB Director Rohit Chopra and columnist @financialtimes Claer Barrett. 📺 Watch LIVE! bit.ly/3SRcOud #FinLit #FinancialLiteracy

Great question from @SusanHayes_ - are we listening to young people & their teachers when designing curricula around financial literacy & empowerment? Panelists essentially say yes, but we could do more - make it real, relevant & interesting #MoneyMatters #FinLit

@EU_Finance Very interesting examples from Morocco, Italy and Ireland on addressing #finlit working within national strategies and with local communities and NGOs to reach specific groups : women, youth and elder people, rural areas, small business for #resilience and #inclusion

Financial education: A catalyst for financial resilience. Panel 1 of today’s high-level conference on Financial literacy, resilience and inclusion starting now. 👩‍💻 Follow live ➡️ bit.ly/3SRcOud #FinLit
