Highlights

Every child in Zimbabwe (43% of the population or 6.6 million children under 18) is exposed to at least one climate/environmental hazard and at risk of climate change impacts such as flooding, drought, heatwaves, cyclones, and air pollution1, yet are the least responsible. Urgent action is required to reduce the impacts of climate, energy, and environmental crisis on children, allowing them to realize their potential and fulfil their rights. Greening schools, communities and cities is key to protect the rights of children and their communities to clean air, nutritious food, secure water, and a safe environment.
