About the product
The evidence presented in this review confirms the centrality of children and their unique vulnerabilities to global, national and subnational policies and frameworks on climate change and human security. It also identifies a gap in existing agreements, protocols and policies that have not sufficiently recognized or addressed children’s issues in the past. This paper seeks to substantiate the need for frameworks and protocols that will recognize, protect and empower children and young people in light of the effects of climate change. At the same time, children are also powerful protagonists for change and can contribute significantly to the collective effort to mitigate climate change and its effects.
