Mental disorders among children and young people are becoming increasingly common, yet the quality and availability of care do not match the scale of the problem, according to a new report from the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe).

For the first time, the report brings together comprehensive data on the mental health of children and young people in the region.

Lack of psychological services

According to the report, one in seven children and adolescents in the region, which encompasses countries in Europe and Central Asia, lives with a mental health disorder. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable: one in four girls aged 15–19 experiences mental health problems. Suicide remains the leading cause of death among young people aged 15–29.

According to WHO, a quarter of countries in the region lack community-based mental health services for children and adolescents. Furthermore, 20 percent of countries lack targeted policies to address the psychological needs of children, adolescents, and young people.

The quality of mental health care varies significantly across countries. On average, there is only one psychiatrist for every 76,000 children and adolescents.

Improve the quality of care

WHO calls for urgent and concerted action to close these gaps and ensure all children and young people have access to high-quality, people-centered care. The report's authors propose nine priority actions for governments and partner organizations:

Develop and implement national action plans and legislation. Introduce incentives and funding to improve the quality of services. Establish standards, protocols, and clinical guidelines. Implement continuous quality improvement measures across all systems. Redesign care models around the needs of children, young people, and their families. Involve children, families, and local communities in developing solutions. Invest in training a workforce that meets the needs of the population. Evaluate results in accordance with the priorities of children and their families. Study and disseminate effective practices.

"This report is a wake-up call for the region. Every child and young person has the right to mental health support and quality care. By taking action now, countries can build resilient systems that will foster the prosperity of future generations," said João Breda, Head of the WHO Office for Quality of Care and Patient Safety.

November 13, 2025 Climate and environment

At the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, a number of key initiatives were unveiled on Thursday, united by a common goal to protect people and the planet from the impacts of the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and ensure a sustainable future.

Green projects for refugees

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has launched the world's first large-scale sustainable financing initiative led by internally displaced people themselves.

Refugee Fund for Environmental Protection (Refugee Environmental Protection Fund) will support projects to restore forests, introduce clean energy sources and create green jobs, linking nature restoration with support for livelihoods.

"The fund enables us to invest in nature, create safer environments, and engage people in processes that protect the land they depend on," said Siddhartha Sinha, head of UNHCR's Innovative Financing Unit.

The first projects are being implemented in Uganda and Rwanda, where they plan to restore over 6,000 hectares of degraded land, provide access to clean energy for over 15,000 people, introduce cleaner and safer cooking solutions, and create sustainable jobs in nursery management, soil conservation, and household services. These measures will help reduce carbon emissions by over 200,000 tons annually, strengthen food and water systems, and create livelihood opportunities.

The fund is already preparing to expand its work in Brazil and Bangladesh, including projects to protect Amazon forests and indigenous ecosystems.

Water and climate action

Speaking at the Baku Dialogue on Water for Climate Action, UNEP Director General Inger Andersen emphasizedthat water must become a central theme of climate efforts.

“Nearly three billion people suffer from water shortages, and 90 percent of natural disasters are water-related,” she said.

The Water for Climate Action initiative, supported by UNEP, the World Meteorological Programme (WMO) and the UN Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), aims to stimulate investments in nature-based solutions and integrated water resources management, with a particular focus on vulnerable regions.

Reducing food loss

In addition, UNEP and partners launched the Breakthrough on Food Loss initiative (Food Waste Breakthrough), which aims to halve global food loss by 2030, reduce methane emissions by 7 percent and reduce global hunger.

The world's population wastes over 1 billion tons of food annually, accounting for 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

"The world loses an unacceptable amount of food every year in all countries – rich and poor. Reducing food waste is key to fighting hunger and reducing methane emissions," emphasized Inger Andersen.

A new program, funded by the Global Environment Facility, will support cities and countries in developing national strategies to reduce food waste and methane emissions, adapting and scaling up proven solutions in developing countries, and strengthening international cooperation in this area.

New toolkit to combat extreme heat

The UN was also represented at COP30 Risk Management Framework and Toolkit, which are created by extreme heat.

The initiative will help countries assess and reduce the risks associated with extreme heat, which kills more than 500,000 people annually and causes approximately $1 trillion in lost productivity.

“Integrated, cross-sectoral and multi-level heat-risk management is no longer a matter of choice – it is a matter of survival,” said Kamal Kishore, head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.

In 2026, pilot projects will be conducted in Barbados, Senegal, and Cambodia, where practical mechanisms for coordination, financing, and early response will be tested.

Environmentalists

On the eve of the high-level session “Protect defenders”, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ilze Brands Kehris called upon support human rights defenders who fight for people's right to a healthy environment.

According to her, environmental defenders are subject to persecution, arrest, and even murder: 167 such activists were killed in 2024. They have also been detained in 28 countries.

"These numbers are not abstractions, but real human lives lost or forever changed in the fight to protect our planet," Brands Keris said.

“We are obliged not only to thank them, but also to provide them with reliable protection,” she emphasized.

November 12, 2025 Humanitarian aid

Around 90,000 people were forced to flee their homes after the fall of El Fasher in North Darfur, Sudan, and another 50,000 fled violence in Kordofan, International Organization for Migration (IOM) Director Amy Pope told reporters on Wednesday.

"People who have fled their homes in El Fasher are reporting widespread violence, sexual abuse, and the shooting of civilians," the IOM Director-General said at a briefing at UN headquarters.

Women and children walked for days, without food or water, along roads strewn with corpses, sometimes having to hide from drones. According to Pope, these families are in dire need of support, and cuts to humanitarian aid worldwide are jeopardizing efforts to help them.

Those affected need shelter and essential supplies – people fled in the clothes they had, unable to take anything with them, trying to save their lives and the lives of their children. The IOM is ready to provide everything needed, but funding for humanitarian operations is woefully inadequate: only 8 percent of the required funds have been allocated. The IOM is forced to raise funds by turning to other UN agencies.

Another problem is humanitarian access. Access to the outskirts of El Fasher is virtually impossible, and IOM staff can mostly only assist those who have fled the city.

In addition, humanitarian workers themselves have become victims of violence – many have been injured, and several have been killed or injured.

November 12, 2025 Climate and environment

Delegates gathered in Belém, Brazil, for the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) want to save the planet from catastrophic temperature increases. But their efforts are threatened by misinformation that could undermine the fight against global warming.

On Wednesday, a group of 12 countries signed the Declaration on Trustworthy Information on Climate Change. The document sets out specific measures to combat false content online and stop targeted attacks on journalists, scientists, and researchers working on climate and environmental issues. Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, the Netherlands, and Belgium joined the declaration.

What's important to know about climate change: A WMO expert discusses alarming trends, the spread of misinformation, and the need for joint action.

This was announced as part of the Global Climate Initiative. Launched in June of this year, the initiative is being implemented by the Brazilian government, the UN Department of Global Communications, and UNESCO.

Disinformation could derail negotiations

COP30 Special Envoy for Credibility, Frederico Assis, told the UN News Service that "disinformation… fuels political extremism and puts human lives at risk." He warned of the real risk of interference in the climate negotiations.

"It is widely recognized that disinformation can jeopardize any part of the COP process—whether diplomatic negotiations, agenda implementation, mobilization [of the international community], or the organization of summits. All our efforts will be jeopardized if we fail to adequately counter disinformation, which is rooted in denial of the facts," Assis noted.

He expressed concern about algorithms that amplify "conspiratorial and manipulative content" and use "sophisticated tactics to spread false messages."

In his role as special envoy, Assis draws global attention to the problem of climate disinformation.

Mechanisms of false information

In an interview with the UN News Service, UNESCO Director of Digital Inclusion, Policy, and Transformation Guilherme Canela emphasized that the topic of information reliability is included on the official agenda of the COP for the first time.

He noted that the global initiative will help better understand the mechanisms by which disinformation spreads.

"We still know very little about what lies behind this process. For example, who funds these types of publications? Why do they spread faster than other content? How does this happen? Without understanding these mechanisms, it's impossible to develop effective strategies to combat this phenomenon," Canela said.

“The essence of the initiative is precisely to fund, especially in countries of the Global South, investigative journalism and research projects that allow us to understand what is really going on,” he added.

Canela noted that “it is extremely gratifying to see this topic receive such strong support at COP30.”

The Global Climate Confidence Facility, established within the initiative, has already received 447 applications from nearly 100 countries, two-thirds of which are from developing countries.

With initial funding of $1 million from Brazil, the fund began supporting the first series of projects.

Changing forms of disinformation

Speaking to UN News, digital influencer Maria Clara Morais said that combating climate disinformation is "entirely possible, but extremely difficult."

Marias Verdes, co-founder of the platform, which has over 500,000 followers on TikTok, noted that disinformation is carefully orchestrated and "supported by powerful forces, primarily the oil and gas industry."

Narratives that discredit climate action "change shape" over time, she said.

"There are many forms of disinformation. One of the most dangerous is the claim that it's too late, that nothing can be done, or that events like COP30 don't change anything. That's also disinformation," Morais said.

“We must continually reaffirm the value of multilateral cooperation and the importance of platforms such as this,” she stressed.

Hope for the younger generation

Morais says that through her work on sustainability and science, she has noticed a growing public awareness of the climate crisis.

She emphasized that the younger generation is becoming a “source of hope and optimism.”

Morais noted the role of each person in creating "micro-revolutions" – everyday actions and decisions that support climate initiatives and contribute to large-scale systemic change.

November 12, 2025 UN

The top news of the day at the UN and around the world: the UN has identified "hot spots" threatened by full-scale famine, new data on Ukraine, a report on the situation in Afghanistan, and a UN-African Union Conference.

Hunger Situation Report

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) are warning of a rapidly deteriorating food situation in 16 global hotspots. In most of these hotspots, famine is being driven by armed conflict, economic upheaval, extreme weather conditions, and funding shortages. The authors emphasize that time is running out to prevent mass starvation. Six countries and territories are of particular concern: Haiti, Mali, Palestine, South Sudan, Sudan, and Yemen.

Monthly report on Ukraine

Attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure increased in October, resulting in a high number of civilian deaths and injuries, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (UNHRM). Last month, three large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure occurred, leading to power outages in most regions of the country. At least 148 civilians were killed and 929 injured in October, matching the high figures from the previous two months.

The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan

The already dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is being exacerbated by the mass return of refugees, according to a report published today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The country is forced to absorb millions of people. UNDP also emphasizes the urgent need to lift all existing restrictions against women, including restoring their ability to work and leave the home, and allowing girls to attend school. Nine out of ten Afghan households report resorting to negative coping strategies, including reducing food intake, selling assets, and using credit.

UN-African Union Conference

The 9th annual African Union-United Nations Conference took place at UN Headquarters in New York on Wednesday. Participants focused on joint action on issues related to peace, security, and human rights. Financing for development and combating climate change were discussed, as well as the implementation of the African Strategy on Women, Peace, and Security.

November 12, 2025 Healthcare

The World Health Organization (WHO) released its annual Global Tuberculosis Report on Wednesday, warning that despite significant advances in diagnosis, treatment, and innovation, funding shortfalls and unequal access to care could reverse the progress made.

According to the WHO, tuberculosis claimed more than 1.2 million lives and affected about 10.7 million people last year, remaining one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world.

Reducing the global burden of tuberculosis

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus noted that the decline in the global burden of tuberculosis and progress in testing, treatment, and social protection are encouraging news after years of setbacks. However, he said, "progress is not victory," and the fact that the disease continues to claim lives annually, despite its preventability and curability, is "inexcusable." WHO calls on countries to accelerate efforts to end tuberculosis by 2030.

According to the report, between 2023 and 2024, the number of tuberculosis cases decreased by almost two percent, and deaths by three percent. This indicates the restoration of key health services after the pandemic. COVID-19.

Progress is particularly noticeable in the WHO African and European Regions: from 2015 to 2024, incidence rates in Africa decreased by 28 percent and mortality by 46 percent; in Europe, by 39 percent and 49 percent, respectively. More than 100 countries have achieved a 20 percent reduction in incidence rates, and 65 countries have achieved a 35 percent or more reduction in mortality, achieving the first targets of the WHO End TB Strategy.

However, global elimination of the disease is impossible without accelerated progress in countries with the highest burden. In 2024, 87 percent of all new TB cases were reported in 30 countries, with eight of them—India, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, Pakistan, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Bangladesh—accounting for 67 percent of the total.

Timely treatment saves lives

Since 2000, timely treatment has saved approximately 83 million lives. In 2024, 8.3 million people received treatment, accounting for 78 percent of all cases. Rapid diagnostic testing was used to detect 54 percent of cases, and the treatment success rate for susceptible forms of tuberculosis reached 88 percent.

Among 30 countries with a high TB burden, social protection coverage ranges from 3.1 percent in Uganda to 94 percent in Mongolia, and in 19 countries it is less than 50 percent. The report also highlights the role of risk factors—malnutrition, HIV, diabetes, smoking, and alcohol—and the need for a multisectoral approach to combating the epidemic.

Funding shortfall

However, progress remains far from the goals set out in the WHO strategy. Tuberculosis funding has stalled: only $5.9 billion has been accumulated by 2024 – just over a quarter of the $22 billion target.

Cutting international aid from 2025 could lead to two million additional deaths and ten million new cases by 2035. Research funding is also lagging: in 2023, it was $1.2 billion—only 24 percent of the target. Nevertheless, by August 2025, 63 new diagnostic tests, 29 drugs, and 18 vaccines were in development.

"We have entered a critical phase in the fight against tuberculosis," said Tereza Kasaeva, Director of the WHO Department of HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, and Sexually Transmitted Infections. She emphasized that funding cuts and persistent risk factors threaten the progress made, but with political will, investment, and global solidarity, humanity can overcome this ancient disease.

November 12, 2025 Human rights

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk addressed the French Senate. He stated that the current human rights situation is challenging. He stated that the world is experiencing a moment when the fundamental freedoms for which the UN was founded are under threat.

Turk noted that millions of people around the world continue to defend the principles of equality and justice, but these values are simultaneously under attack.

Human rights in wartime

Turning to issues of war and violence, the High Commissioner stressed that the need to respect international humanitarian law is particularly evident in conflict situations.

Speaking about Sudan, he called the situation in El Fasher "absolutely devastating."

"We are receiving disturbing reports that the Rapid Action Force is committing atrocities, including summary executions, sexual violence and other abuses," he said.

Türk called on all states to respect the arms embargo in Darfur and stressed that the protection of civilians, humanitarian access, and a return to civilian rule remain priorities.

"All countries must comply with the Security Council arms embargo on Darfur, which should be extended to the entire country."

Turk drew attention to the situation in Gaza, as well as in the West Bank, where, according to him, violence by Israeli security forces and settlers continues.

"Over the past two years, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed [in the West Bank], the vast majority of whom died at the hands of Israeli security forces," Turk said.

He called for the ceasefire in Gaza to be observed: “All parties to the conflict in Gaza must faithfully implement the ceasefire… Israel must ensure a large-scale flow of humanitarian aid in accordance with its obligations.”

Speaking about Ukraine, Türk noted that the war is leading to an increasing number of civilian casualties, and attacks on energy infrastructure are especially dangerous as winter approaches.

"Peace is urgently needed – in accordance with the UN Charter, international law and General Assembly resolutions," the UN's top human rights official said.

Violations of rights are an alarm signal

The High Commissioner stressed that human rights violations often serve as "alarm signals" that foreshadow the outbreak of violence, and called on States to pay greater attention to conflict prevention.

He also expressed concern about the growing funding of anti-human rights groups and movements. According to him, in Europe alone, such groups received nearly $1.2 billion from 2019 to 2023.

"We're seeing similar trends in other regions. Some states are allocating significant resources to groups that oppose gender equality and human rights and operate abroad," Türk said.

“The consequences of this are already being felt by many, including women who have experienced gender-based violence, members of the LGBTIQ community, migrants and refugees,” he added.

Türk noted that the UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR), which he heads, remains a reliable partner of states and civil society, monitoring and documenting violations and collecting evidence.

Last year, the Office conducted 11,000 human rights monitoring missions in 92 countries, and in 2024, it facilitated the release of more than 3,000 unlawfully detained individuals.

He also emphasized the need to regulate artificial intelligence in accordance with human rights. According to the Commissioner, the UN is collaborating with states and IT companies to develop common principles in this area.

"We are working with governments, social media, and civil society to align laws and policies on new technologies, including artificial intelligence, with human rights," Türk said.

The desire for freedom will not disappear

Despite all the difficulties, the High Commissioner expressed confidence that people's aspirations for freedom and dignity will not disappear.

He called on members of the Senate to take action to encourage everyone to defend human rights, and noted the activism of youth movements around the world – from Ecuador and Peru to Kenya and Nepal.

In closing, Türk noted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN and expressed hope that international cooperation can overcome current challenges.

He also noted that the OHCHR "is in an extremely difficult financial situation" and expressed hope that the United States would resume funding.

November 12, 2025 Humanitarian aid

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) released a joint report on Wednesday warning of a rapidly deteriorating food situation in 16 global hotspots. In most of these hotspots, famine is being driven by armed conflict, economic shocks, extreme weather conditions, and funding shortages.

The report covers the period from November 2025 to May 2026, and its authors emphasize that time is running out to prevent mass famine.

The report states that six countries and territories are of the greatest concern – Haiti, Mali, Palestine, South Sudan, Sudan, and Yemen – where populations are on the brink of catastrophic famine. Six more countries, including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, and Syria, are classified as "very high risk." Burkina Faso, Chad, Kenya, and the situation of the Rohingya people in Bangladesh are also on the list of hotspots.

Despite the growing need for assistance, funding for humanitarian programs has been sharply reduced. Of the $29 billion needed, only $10.5 billion had been received by the end of October. This has led to ration cuts, the suspension of school feeding programs, and a reduction in assistance to refugees and displaced persons. The FAO also warns that underfunding is jeopardizing agricultural initiatives, including seed supplies, veterinary services, and preventative measures before planting seasons.

FAO and WFP emphasize that famine is predictable and preventable. They call on the international community to urgently focus on preventing famine, invest in resilience and food security, and ensure unimpeded humanitarian access in conflict zones.

According to WFP Director General Cindy McCain, the world is on the brink of a preventable catastrophe, and delay will lead to increased instability, increased migration, and new conflicts.

November 12, 2025 Refugees and migrants

A shipwreck off the coast of Libya left 42 migrants missing and likely drowned. This is the latest tragic episode on the central Mediterranean route, where more than a thousand people have already died since the beginning of the year.

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 49 refugees and migrants were on board a rubber dinghy that departed from the city of Zuwara in northwestern Libya on November 3. Six hours later, the boat capsized: high waves disabled the engine, and all occupants—47 men and two women—were thrown overboard.

The boat drifted at sea for six days before Libyan authorities rescued seven men on November 8: four from Sudan, two from Nigeria, and one from Cameroon. Among those missing were 29 from Sudan, eight from Somalia, three from Cameroon, and two from Nigeria.

IOM said the survivors were provided emergency medical care in coordination with local authorities.

This tragedy occurred just weeks after several other deadly incidents off the coast of Surman, Libya, and the island of Lampedusa, Italy. According to the IOM's Missing Migrants project, the death toll along the Central Mediterranean route has already exceeded 1,000.

"This new shipwreck brings the overall death toll even higher, highlighting the urgent need for stronger regional cooperation, expanded safe and legal migration routes, and more effective search and rescue operations," the IOM said in a statement.

The Central Mediterranean route remains the world's deadliest, with more than 25,600 people dead or missing since the migrant tracking project was launched in 2014.

The main causes of deaths are the length of the journey, dangerous smuggling schemes, a lack of rescue resources, and limitations on the work of NGOs saving lives at sea. Furthermore, migrants often cross the sea in overloaded and unseaworthy inflatable boats, complicating rescue operations, especially when several such vessels are launched at once.

November 12, 2025 Human rights

Attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure increased in October, resulting in a high number of civilian deaths and injuries, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reported today in its monthly report.

Last month, three large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure occurred – on October 10, 22, and 30 – resulting in power outages across most of the country. November brought no relief: attacks on Ukraine's power grid again caused nationwide power outages.

At least 148 civilians were killed and 929 wounded in October, matching the high figures of the previous two months.

"Another winter is approaching for civilians in Ukraine, and increasing attacks on energy infrastructure and associated power outages are increasing the risks to the population," said Danielle Bell, Head of the Monitoring Mission.

"Any prolonged interruption in heat, electricity or water supplies will create extreme hardship, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities, families with young children and women, who often bear the primary responsibility for care," she added.

In October, two-thirds of civilian casualties were recorded in areas close to the front line, and one-third were in parts of Ukraine located further from the front line, including Kyiv, where people were killed and injured mainly as a result of the use of long-range missiles and drones.

The number of civilian casualties in the period January to October 2025 is 27 percent higher than in the same period last year, and the total number of casualties in the first ten months of 2025 has already exceeded the total number of casualties for all of 2024.

It was also reported that Ukrainian armed forces attacked energy and industrial facilities in the Russian Federation. However, the Monitoring Mission was unable to verify the impact of these attacks on the civilian population.
