Description
Children are the least responsible for climate change and the most vulnerable to it. What is less well understood is that investing in children, from the early years through the life course, builds resilience and is a powerful strategy to combat climate change. Unfortunately, including children in policy solutions and action plans remains on the periphery of global climate negotiations.
With the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 30) right around the corner, we have a critical opportunity to shift the discourse and position children at the center of climate negotiations. In this webinar, you’ll hear from some of those leading these efforts and learn how to help in influence the planning process in your country.
Specifically, participants will:
- Understand why COP is critical to the child rights agenda
- Learn what policy and financing opportunities at stake at COP 30, and at the country level.
- Hear about global, regional, and national efforts to position children’s needs on the climate agenda.
- Gain key messages, tools, and other resources to support your advocacy efforts at home.
This is an opportunity to learn from child rights advocates around the world, including UNICEF, Alana Institute, the Child Rights International Network, and others. We can leverage this moment to advocate for tangible and practical actions that put children at the center of the climate change agenda.
