A legally binding agreement on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions is imperative to protect the future of our children but we should not lose sight of the fact that children are dying as we speak, and need to be supported to be able to adapt and cope with this changing climate. The negotiators in Cancun are far removed from the harsh realities facing children in the developing countries.

Wed, 8 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.savethechildren.net/alliance/media/newsdesk/2010-11-29.html Poorest children up to ten times more likely to be hit by climate disaster than those better off. The world leaders meeting in Cancun this week have a make or break opportunity to save the lives of millions of children whose lives will be made even worse because of climate change. Across the globe child survival and basic services, such as education and healthcare, are at risk as a result of the increase in frequency of disasters, shorter growing seasons, rising temperatures, and changing disease patterns. While the risks and distortions to children’s lives from climate change are substantial, children should not be seen as vulnerable victims. Save the Children’s experience across the world -- from environmental education in Mexico, to risk mapping in Mozambique, to mock drills in the Philippines and Myanmar -- has consistently shown that when children are empowered and engaged in addressing and preparing for environmental and disaster risks, the results are substantial.
