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.
