Background The World Health Organization has established recommendations for 24-h movement behaviours in children under 5 years. Building on the successful knowledge translation model of Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance Report Cards , this study aimed to develop a similar framework for the early years. Methods Using a three-round twin-panel Delphi survey (conducted via an online survey between 28 November 2024 and 11 March 2025), expert consensus was sought on indicators and benchmarks for the first dedicated report card on 24-h movement behaviours for the early years. The experts were identified through a three-step selection process, which included recognised international projects and networks as well as literature search. In Round 1, participants evaluated the applicability of 15 initial indicators. In Rounds 2 and 3, they rated the importance of each indicator, with results from their own panel (Round 2) and the other panel (Round 3) provided to inform their decisions. Qualitative feedback on definitions and benchmarks was systematically reviewed and incorporated. Consensus was predefined as ≥ 75% agreement, with stability across rounds considered. Results Of 175 invited experts, 72 (41.1% recruitment rate) from 15 regions participated in Round 1, with 61 (84.7% response rate) and 56 (77.8% response rate) completing Rounds 2 and 3, respectively. Consensus was achieved for 12 indicators, with definitions and benchmarks refined based on expert inputs. Notably, Weight Status and Motor Proficiency were excluded due to lower agreement. Conclusions The finalised set of indicators, definitions, and benchmarks provides a robust foundation for creating a standardised report card for early childhood. The finalised results serve as a critical advocacy instrument to raise awareness, improve surveillance, facilitate cross-jurisdictional comparisons, and inform policy and public health initiatives, ultimately supporting the health and well-being of young children globally. Key points Global experts from 15 world regions collaborated to create the first standardised indicators and their benchmarks for inclusion in dedicated report cards on 24-hour movement behaviours for young children through a structured consensus process. Experts reached strong consensus on 12 indicators, with benchmarks refined to practical implementation. This new assessment framework enables consistent international comparisons while providing stakeholders with measurable improvements in early childhood health and development.

In seminal works such as Go Tell It on the Mountain , Notes of a Native Son , and The Fire Next Time , acclaimed author and social critic James Baldwin (1924-1987) expresses his profound belief that writers have the power to transform society, to engage the public, and to inspire and channel conversation to achieve lasting change.

The unexpected end of the protracted conflict has been a sobering experience for scholars. No theory had anticipated how the Cold War would be terminated, and none should also be relied upon to explicate its legacy. But instead of relying on preconceived formulas to project past developments, taking a historical perspective to explain their causes and consequences allows one to better understand trends and their long-term significance. The present book takes such perspective, focusing on the evolution of security, its substance as well as its perception, the concurrent development of alliances and other cooperative structures for security, and their effectiveness in managing conflicts. In The Legacy of the Cold War Vojtech Mastny and Zhu Liqun bring together scholars to examine the worldwide effects of the Cold War on international security. Focusing on regions where the Cold War made the most enduring impact―the Euro-Atlantic area and East Asia―historians, political scientists, and international relations scholars explore alliances and other security measures during the Cold War and how they carry over into the twenty-first century.
