Climate Action
Throughout Aotearoa and around the world, the voices of tamariki and rangatahi are unified, loud, and clear. They want real climate action.
Now more than ever we need to work together to enact real change. UNICEF Aotearoa is working to bring child and youth voices to decision-makers so that a climate safe future is possible. We still need Government action to protect children. Climate change is having a devastating impact on their basic rights. We can’t let the climate crisis undo the major gains made for children over the past decades.
So, our advocacy work is ongoing. To urge the Government to consider children’s specific needs, rights, and perspectives in climate planning, policy, and action. To bring more youth voices to the table. And to act with urgency!
We want you to get stuck in too. Here’s how you, your whānau, friends, and community can help protect today and tomorrow - for tamariki everywhere.
Advocacy Made Simple.
Advocacy doesn't have to be complicated - it can start with something as simple as sending an email. There’s no age limit on making a difference. Stay informed and actively participate in your community by signing up to UNICEF Changemakers.
Get inspired, take action!
Brush up on knowledge for budding climate activists, be inspired by the climate action taking place around the world, and prepare for YOUR own journey. The power to act isn't just in the hands of government, we all have the power to enact positive change!
The Climate Crisis is a Children’s Rights Crisis.
We’re hosting a regular Parliamentary Forum for Children’s Rights at the Beehive. It’s an amazing platform for young people representing UNICEF and other youth-focused organisations to kōrero and engage with Ministers and MPs.
The Power of Petition.
Grab the attention of Aotearoa and the decision-makers. Whether started by a group or an individual, signed by 5 or 5,000 - all petitions taken to Parliament in Aotearoa get their moment with the Government of the day. No matter what.
Donate to our Climate Emergency Appeal.
90% of the world’s disasters today are climate related. We’re delivering long-term and sustainable solutions to combat the biggest climate induced threats children are facing. Climate change is here, we have to act now.
How we Tackle Climate Change.
This is about 1 billion kids, here and around the world, at extreme risk from the escalating climate crisis. See how swift action to mitigate and adapt to Climate Change is creating a liveable planet for kids, everywhere.
