UNICEF’s Post

Climate change poses a grave threat to our children's well-being, with a concerning rise in child marriage linked to its impacts. As we address climate challenges, let's prioritize safeguarding our children's futures and ensuring their safety. Together, we can build a more resilient and equitable world for the next generation. #climatechange #childprotection #resilience

And if there's one group not to be left behind, it's our own mothers of the nation, the ladies who nurture the little ones. They need to be actively involved in these impactful actions. #justtransition #ClimateEducation #climateschool #trees #treeplanters #WomenEmpowerment

Today 15th May, MHF celebrate the International Day of Families, with the theme "Families and climate change" let's honor the pivotal role families play in addressing the pressing issue of climate change. Through education, advocacy, and collective action, families serve as dynamic agents of change, fostering resilience and sustainability within their communities. By nurturing a culture of environmental consciousness and stewardship, families can not only safeguard our planet for future generations but also cultivate a legacy of interconnectedness and responsibility. As we celebrate the bond of family, let's also celebrate their profound impact in shaping a more sustainable and resilient world. #MHF 💜 #FAMILIES 💓🧑🧑🧒🧒🧑🧒🧒 #CLIMATE_ACTION 💪

Disadvantaged Communities are the starting point to truly decarbonization! Here is one emblematic project within a disadvantaged community in its way…

Empowering our future, one step at a time. The Children Climate Disaster Risk Model (#CCDRM) is more than just a tool—it’s a blueprint for protecting the future of the next generation. With #climate_disasters becoming more frequent, it's our responsibility to ensure that #children, who are the most vulnerable, are at the center of every climate resilience strategy. I’m proud to be part of this effort to drive real change. Youth have a critical role to play, not only as advocates but as #leaders in reshaping our urban spaces and communities. We need to continue pushing for policies that prioritize children and the planet they’ll inherit. This is how we create #sustainable, #inclusive_cities that truly reflect the needs and voices of the next generation. Let’s continue to work together to make this a reality—because the time to act is now. #ChildrenClimateResilience #FutureCities #UrbanSafety #ChildRights #CCDRM #ClimateJusticeForChildren #UNICEF #ClimateChangeDirectorate #YouthAndUrbanism #SafeInclusiveCities #ProtectOurFuture #SustainableCities #ClimateAction

As parents, we wield immense influence over both our children and the planet's present and future. The climate crisis as well as the caucopheny of other crises is fueled by a system of separation and 1dominance over the Earth and one another, but we can change this narrative. Through parenting, we have a unique opportunity to challenge this destructive system, fostering connections, reciprocity, and responsibility within our own lives and families. Imagine a world where every interaction with our children is rooted in the understanding of our interconnectedness with all life. By embodying a culture of deep respect and sense of responsibility for nature and empathy for others, we empower our children to become stewards of the Earth. Our actions as parents ripple far beyond our homes. By embracing sustainable practices and advocating for environmental justice, we offer our children the capacity to dream and embody a culture of collective responsibility and action. What if addressing the climate crisis begins with the way we parent? What happens when we treat our children with the same ethos of relationality that the mother earth offers to us, that of care, connectivity, reciprocity and life-force.

Children and young people will be the most affected by the joint climate and nature crises, despite having done little themselves to cause them. Last year, the Budehaven School Mini-Jury provided a space for 18 young people aged 11 - 16 to decide how to respond. Over 3 half-days, they heard from climate scientists, young activists, and local changemakers; produced visions for the future of their area; and developed 18 recommendations for the Budehaven Community School and wider community to take action on climate change and other environmental issues.
