As @POTUS prepares to host the #LeadersClimateSummit this #EarthDay



Children and their rights must be at the center of climate discussions and commitments. Kids contributed the least to this crisis, but will pay the highest price.

Without substantial increases in financing, climate commitments will be empty promises for the millions of kids impacted by the climate crisis.

Governments need to set up child-friendly mechanisms and platforms to include children’s recommendations in climate policies, including the most vulnerable children.

Children are leading the way on climate change through a truly global movement. They must be listened to and governments must take action on what children tell them.
If drastic action is not taken, the impact of the climate crisis will likely hit millions more children in decades to come.
We must support the kids fighting for our planet and their futures by ensuring their voices are heard.
