IT'S THEIR WORLD TOO: HOW TO SUPPORT CHILDREN’S HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT AMID A CHANGING CLIMATE

Heatwaves. Flooding. Storms. Food and Water Insecurity. Increased Pollution Exposure. Research is clear that a child’s environment shapes their early development, when the foundations of lifelong learning, health and wellbeing are built. In the face of climate change and increasing crises — heatwaves, flooding, storms, food and water insecurity, and pollution exposure — we must reckon with potentially catastrophic consequences for children’s health and brain development.. While the scale and scope of the challenge is formidable, there are promising solutions that states, communities, and philanthropy are pursuing today. This session will highlight the disproportionate impact climate change is having on young children and families and explore ongoing efforts to promote climate resiliency.

Today’s 1.8 billion adolescents and young people are growing up in a world that is dramatically different from previous generations. It is a world shaped by digitalization, urbanization, and mobility. These changes offer unprecedented opportunities, including access to services and information, learning, employment, and connectivity that fosters and nurtures relationships. However, they also present new challenges, such as the increased risk of depression and anxiety, exposure to (often gender-based) violence and abuse, or experiences of poverty and unhealthy lifestyles, which affect young people’s health and wellbeing now, throughout the course of their lives, and as parents of future generations.

In support of the 1.8 Billion Young People for Change campaign, securing the health and well-being of today’s adolescents and young people requires urgent efforts and deliberate collaboration, investment, and partnership. In this focus on our collective future, everyone has a role to play.

Senior staff and key stakeholders meet and network together before a roundtable discussion on kosher supply chain and kosher food insecurity on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at USDA Headquarters, Washington D.C.. The event brought together key stakeholders for the USDA Center for Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, USDA leadership, and others to discuss trends, data points, and issues faced by kosher producers and processers, certifiers, vendors, and emergency food providers. The event featured leadership remarks, as well as a panel discussion with partner organizations and a networking reception.

This was the second year that the USDA hosted a Jewish American Heritage Month Celebration, bringing together faith leaders, USDA representatives, and community members together to celebrate religious pluralism. The celebration was hosted by the USDA Center for Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and is part of a long running strategic collaboration with several non-governmental organizations and provides an opportunity to celebrate and develop new partnerships with Jewish American organizations in agriculture and food systems.

Not as worried as she looks with those eyes, though, she's rather wiggly

I want a forest where i can take pictures, I hate taking pictures inside these four walls

I have 0% confidence in myself, I get insecure all the time, even though my loved ones keep convincing me that I am actually good enough.

I just want to sink.

This is a piece that I painted with a sponge. It is a simple design for a 'Pot-belly' which I initially wanted to create in clay, i then decided that this style of very intimate painting could be furthered into a much better painting on a larger scale.

A part of a larger concept of transforming from an insecure, more secluded personality to a more open view of life.

Looking at limits of controls and the understanding of the subconcious and how we will never be able to know, understand or control everything about yourselve or others.

This series of portraits looks at the dream like state where your subconcious takes over, and your mind fills in the gaps without use of the conscious mind and where your mind runs free.

Bleh,Chibella.

Just kidding,she's cool sometimes.

Ten Hendrix College students spent part of winter break in California working with DOOR (Discovering Opportunities for Outreach and Reflection) Hollywood, an organization that serves the homeless and food insecure.

Insecurity is one of my besetting sins. It's one of those core-issue, mindset kind of sins that affects everything I think and do. It has been a part of my life for so long that I don't even have to think about it, my mind just automatically runs all of it's decisions through the Insecurity Evaluation Filter to determine the amount of risk to my ego. Let's just say… it's a stressful way to live.

Reducing poverty is a key element in a policy for food security, because poor people spend such a large share of their incomes on food, leaving them vulnerable to high food prices, and many poor people obtain much of their income from farming, leaving them vulnerable to declines in agricultural output.

Just one of those days.

I like this for some reason.

because she knows that he doesn't like her, at least not the way she want him to, she smiles and pretends and hides behind the shiny smile and the bright eyes...

Ollie is sulking at our fraternisation with the feline enemy. Either that or he's jealous that I get to cuddle with her and he's only been allowed to sniff her gently so far.

I'm proof reading a certain gentleman's dissertation. It's 40 pages long, I've read it 3 times already, I wish that Ollie could give backrubs.

I feel unsafe since you left me.
