Declaration on Children, Youth and Climate Action

Vanuatu has signed the Declaration on Children, Youth and Climate Action, an international commitment ensuring children and young people have a greater say in climate decision-making. The declaration supports governments in better considering the rights, needs and voices of young people when shaping climate policies. Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation highly exposed to cyclones and rising seas, has positioned itself as a leading advocate for climate-vulnerable countries and for youth participation in climate governance.
