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. In parts of sub-Saharan Africa, it has already impacted on agriculture, leading to an increase in malnutrition among children.

This year, UNICEF continues to advocate and campaign on this issue, asking the EU to commit to a 30 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2020. Take action now or read our blog entries to find out more about what we do.

UNICEF is also working to help communities adapt to the effects of climate change now.
