The climate crisis is a child rights crisis. Recent record heat waves, wildfires and flooding in many countries portend a challenging ‘new normal’. The impacts of climate change are clear. So are the solutions. It is unconscionable that today’s children and young people face an uncertain future.
Around the world, through protests, social media activity and community and civic engagement, children and young people are loud and clear
in demanding change. The old ways of doing things are not good enough.
This report provides the first comprehensive view of children’s exposure and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change through the Children’s Climate Risk Index (CCRI).
