During the Global Forum on Investing in Early Childhood, Justin van Fleet of Theirworld and the Global Business Coalition for Education highlighted the importance of building a strong case for investing in early childhood. As he noted, young children are not able to advocate on their own on a national or global stage. As adults, we have a responsibility to do this. During the Global Forum, speakers shared valuable information about how we can showcase the value of early childhood investment and can build collaborative partnerships with businesses who have common goals of building brighter futures for children and societies.

They’re too young to articulate their needs or to organize a rally… I'd hope that we can all think about how we can build a strong investment case that can reach more and more people to take action in the public and the private sector."
