Climate Change and Children: A Human Security Challenge

This Policy Review Paper is the latest UNICEF Innocenti Centre publication which reviews the implications of climate change for children and future generations, drawing on relevant experiences in different sectors and countries of promoting child rights and well-being.

This publication by the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre traces in considerable detail the pathways through which shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns create serious additional barriers to the achievement of the child survival, development and protection goals embraced by the international community. The role of children as vital participants and agents of change emerges as a key theme.
