A guide to supporting the local actions of children and young people, with special emphasis on girls and young women
Many countries are in the process of developing adaptation plans and disaster risk reduction strategies to help people adapt to changing climatic conditions where they live. It is critically important for the unique vulnerabilities, rights and capacities of children and young people to be addressed in these emerging projects, plans and policies.
This guide seeks to maximize the effectiveness of our wide-ranging networks, complementary approaches and best practices. With a collective international voice of more than 100 million members, it advocates for the inclusion of young people in climate change plans and policies. It is a simple example of what can be accomplished by children and young people in practical ways. The guide is the result of a highly participatory consultative workshop and editorial review process, which involved representatives of all ages from each organization joining together to share experiences and practical approaches from a diverse range of countries and situations.
