The climate crisis is a child rights crisis. It directly threatens a child’s ability to survive, grow, and thrive. Extreme weather events put their lives at risk and destroy infrastructure critical to their well-being. Children are physically and physiologically more vulnerable to climate and environmental shocks than adults. They are less able to withstand and survive extreme weather such as floods, droughts, storms, and heatwaves. They are also at higher risk of diseases that are exacerbated by climate change, such as cholera, malaria, dengue and zika. It is estimated that 88 per cent of the additional disease burden from climate change will be borne by children under five years.
UNICEF has 75 years of experience in delivering and strengthening social services and empowering children and young people. Our goal is to work with and for children and young people to tackle environmental degradation and climate change, so they have access to clean water, clean air, and a safe and sustainable environment.
