The climate crisis is leading to another crisis altogether – a child’s rights crisis. Not only must UNICEF continue to focus their efforts today on building a better world for every child, every day, everywhere, but they must also look to mitigate against threats in the future that compromise any progress made so far.

All countries are facing the challenges of climate change and a degrading natural environment. Some countries, and children within those countries, are more at risk of the impacts of climate change than others. Moreover, some countries have in place mechanisms that make them more resilient and ready to address the negative effects of climate change.
