drought and aid cuts strain economy.
Afghanistan’s humanitarian and economic crisis is deepening despite modest economic growth, with nearly three in four people unable to meet basic needs, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) said on Wednesday.
Young people are increasingly affected by global events in this area. Gen Z and Gen Alpha seek clarity and constructive responses aligned with sustainable development and well-being (SDG 13: Climate Action).

Pearl News highlights how global challenges intersect with the lives of young people and the frameworks that support their resilience and participation.
