“The main reasons for the substantial number of children ending up in Europe alone, often without any identification, means of subsistence or support are poverty, armed conflicts, and the climate crisis. In recent years, most unaccompanied children came from Afghanistan, Syria, and Bangladesh. The Assembly stresses the need for sustained efforts to eradicate poverty and deprivation across the world; to invest massively in peace building, reconciliation and peaceful conflict resolution; and to prioritise tackling climate change and ensuring decent living standards for all, rather than economic growth and profit-maximising for the few.”
