Climate, Energy, Environment and Children
The Climate Change Crisis is a Child Rights Crisis, and therefore climate adaptation and mitigation efforts need to include the needs of children
Highlights
Children are the least responsible for climate change, but they suffer the biggest brunt of climate change. Children now experience double the impact of climate induced events as compared to their grandparents.
Hence UNICEF Zimbabwe calls for:
- The development, funding and implementation of Child sensitive national climate policies, strategies and plans.
- Meaningful participation by children in shaping the future that will be theirs.
- Climate sensitive and climate resilient basic services, including education, health, nutrition, water, sanitation, hygiene, protection of children, and social protection.
- Promotion of clean and green innovations for and by children and young people
