Climate Change
UNICEF continues to pay special attention to the mounting environmental, economic, health and cultural challenges faced by small island developing nations. For instance, UNICEF and other partners have embarked on a comprehensive process to identify early warning indicators and approaches for tracking the impact of global economic crises and climate change on vulnerable groups at national and sub-national levels. UNICEF is also facilitating children and young people’s participation in the global debates on economic crises and climate change. With Pacific governments and other partners UNICEF aims to ensure that the rights of every Pacific Island child – the Pacific’s greatest asset – are respected, promoted and protected.
