SUMMARY:New Lancet Series: Early Childhood Development and the Next 1\,000 
 Days
DESCRIPTION:19 November 2024\, 13:00 GMT\nRegister here\nFollowing the firs
 t 1\,000 days of life that span from conception to 2 years of age\, the 
 ‘next 1\,000 days’ of a child’s life from 2 to 5 years of age offer 
 a window of opportunity to promote nurturing and caring environments\, est
 ablish healthy behaviours\, and build on early gains to sustain or improve
  trajectories of healthy development. This new two-part Lancet series on e
 arly childhood development focuses on the transition to the ‘next 1\,000
  days’ of the life course\, describing why this developmental period mat
 ters\, identifying the environments of care\, risks\, and protective facto
 rs that shape children’s development. The papers also estimate the numbe
 r of children who receive adequate nurturing care\, and examine whether cu
 rrent interventions are meeting children’s needs.\nIn low- and middle-in
 come countries (LMICs)\, 181.9 million children ages 3 and 4 are not recei
 ving nurturing care\, thus jeopardising their development. The series summ
 arises the evidence\, benefits and costs of key strategies to support chil
 dren’s development in this age range. It highlights the high cost of ina
 ction\, revealing that failing to implement a basic early childhood care a
 nd education (ECCE) package globally results in significant societal losse
 s—potentially 8 to 19 times greater than the investment required for ECC
 E.\nThe series stresses the need to provide access to adequate nurturing c
 are\, including equitable access to high quality ECCE\, safe and supportiv
 e environments with adequate stimulation\, protection from physical punish
 ment\, adequate nutrition to all children\, universal developmental screen
 ing\, and financial support for vulnerable populations.
