The adoption of the European strategy, Investing in children: the child and adolescent health strategy 2015–2020, by the WHO Regional Committee for Europe in 2014 was a step toward providing guidance to countries on how to address and prioritize health issues in Europe. Wisely, countries requested to be updated on progress. With this report, the WHO Secretariat provides a first summary of the situation of children and adolescents in Europe, for the information of the interested public and the consideration of Member States.
