November 2018

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As noted by the UN Human Rights Council and the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC), children are
among the groups most vulnerable to climate change, which represents ‘one of the biggest threats to children’s
health.[1] The CRC has previously highlighted that climate change results in interference with many of the rights
protected by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (the Convention), including the rights to education,
to the highest attainable standard of health, to safe and drinkable water, to sanitation, to food and nutrition security, and to adequate housing and an adequate standard of living.[2]
The magnitude of the risk that climate change poses to these rights increases as temperatures continue to rise.
