Children are key agents for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation

Children around the world are already facing the impact of climate change -- through the devastating floods in the Philippines, drought in Kenya and sea abrasion in Indonesia. But beyond climate victims, they are interested in taking part in decisions affecting their future, and they have a right to do so. Children are taking action to ensure their safety and that of their communities, offering practical solutions and calling for action from their leaders. These films were produced by children in the Philippines who are facing the realities of climate risks in their day-to-day lives.
