We focus on the growing crisis of loneliness among children and adolescents, amplified by digital environments.
Unwanted loneliness is a silent problem affecting an increasing number of people worldwide: one in three adults feels lonely.
This feeling limits people’s ability to participate fully in society, has negative effects on health and wellbeing and, consequently, generates significant social and public health costs.
For many years, unwanted loneliness was primarily associated with older people living alone. However, the reality is that an ever-growing number of children and young people are experiencing its consequences, making it a major challenge for both our present and our future.
It is within this context that Exea Impact, the Puig family foundation, has decided to launch an initial initiative focused on childhood loneliness:
At Exea Impact, we work to drive meaningful transformation and foster collaboration among different stakeholders to maximise impact. We are advancing the initiative “Loneliness in Childhood and Adolescence in Times of Hyperconnectivity”, a framework for action that brings together a range of complementary interventions.
To ensure a rigorous, evidence-based approach, we have established an expert committee to guide and support the design and implementation of the various projects:
· We promote responsible innovation within the digital industry to help create safer and healthier technological environments through the establishment of the SOREDI (Socially Responsible Innovation) Chair in partnership with ESADE.
· We support families in strengthening their ability to influence regulation and drive social mobilisation, with the aim of protecting children and young people from early access to, and the risks associated with, the digital environment, in collaboration with Adolescencia Libre de Móviles.
· We foster youth leadership so that young people themselves can play an active role in driving the necessary changes, both in the design of these technologies and in shaping the regulatory framework to ensure the effective and unequivocal protection of their digital rights, in collaboration with the 5Rights Foundation.
We aspire to a safe and responsible digital environment that promotes development, wellbeing and the creation of genuine connections for children and adolescents, thereby preventing situations of isolation and their negative impact.
We recognise the importance of the current context and believe it is essential to work together to build a world in which identity, personal integrity, ethical values and our shared humanity are respected.
Our goal is to promote solutions that strengthen the resilience of cities and the most vulnerable populations in the face of climate change.
Climate change is already having visible and growing effects. Heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, torrential rainfall and floods have a direct impact on people’s health, the economy and overall well-being.
These phenomena affect communities unevenly, with cities and the most vulnerable groups bearing the greatest burden. Heatwaves are among the most significant threats to human health and well-being, and their frequency, intensity and duration are expected to increase. Factors such as urban planning, housing quality, limited green spaces, heat accumulation in urban environments, and socioeconomic conditions can significantly amplify their consequences.
Cities are among the areas most exposed and vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Urban resilience has become a key strategy for preventing, withstanding, adapting to and recovering from these impacts.
In this context, Exea Impact is advancing the initiative “Urban Resilience to Climate Change: Solutions for Cities and the Most Vulnerable Populations.”
The initiative is implemented through projects developed in collaboration with strategic partners. The first project launched is the Climate Digital Twin, in partnership with Aretian.
We aim to strengthen cities’ ability to anticipate and respond to the impacts of climate change through evidence-based and innovative solutions that reduce the effects of heatwaves on the most vulnerable populations.
