The Statement also encourages "mainstreaming climate change and health issues into formal curricula at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels in health and other training institutions" [ 5].
The mandate of the Task Group is to: examine the existing situation of UNICEF in light of the MTSP challenges, identify key factors enabling/hindering the implementation of the MTSP, prepare a road map for mainstreaming necessary change, and submit a proposal to André Roberfroid.

Has the mainstream changed hugely since?
