Unequal service delivery is not by chance, but by choice. The cost of unequal service delivery is in human lives—and we estimate that it contributes to the death of one person every four seconds. Deaths resulting from hunger, lack of access to healthcare, and climate change issues in developing and least developed countries.

According to UNICEF, young people have historically led the charge against environmental, social, and racial injustice. Millions of children and young people globally voiced their concerns and demanded that their governments take action on climate change. Their voices have demonstrated the urgency they are feeling that time is running out and that they, as the younger generation, will suffer the consequences of climate change more greatly than their parents and grandparents.

According to the World Bank, by the time many of the teenage climate activists of today are in their late 20s, climate change could force an additional 100 million people into extreme poverty. In addition, by 2050, the International Food Policy Research institute estimates a 20% increase in malnourished children compared to what we would see without climate change.
