November 2025: Statement on Behalf of 70 Members of the Group of Friends of Children and the SDGs at COP30

About

At COP30, we stand united in continuing to reaffirm that the climate crisis is also a child rights crisis. Today, more than one billion children live in areas facing extremely high climate and environmental risks. For children, the decisions taken in Belém will determine not only their futures but the future of our shared planet. Children bear no responsibility for this crisis, yet they will face its worst impacts.
