Climate change is with us now
Children in developing countries are among those hardest hit by climate change. Yet they are the least responsible for the problem. Flooding, drought and other extreme weather events damage schools, homes, crops and water sources, leaving children without education, shelter, food or clean water.
UNICEF is helping children adapt to climate change with skills, knowledge and tools. We're teaching children to prepare for extreme weather events, building schools designed to withstand these, and providing rainwater harvesting to ensure children have access to clean water as rainfall patterns change.
We can't turn back the clock and reverse the damage already done by our carbon emissions, but we can enable the children and communities most affected to cope better with the changing climate. And you can join us.
