Children in developing countries are among the hardest hit by climate change, despite being the least responsible for it. Climate change denies children their rights to health, education, to a childhood and to be treated fairly. This is wrong.

UNICEF works to put it right, helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change now.

Working together, we can all reduce the impact that climate change is having and will have on children. Reducing our own carbon emissions and supporting those children in countries most vulnerable to climate change are steps we can all take.
