The climate crisis is the biggest risk children collectively face, the biggest threat to children’s rights. Yet governments are rolling back on their climate promises - just as scientists are telling us that this decade is our last chance to keep warming from reaching catastrophic levels. There’s never been a more urgent need for us to fight for our children’s futures. But activism doesn’t need to be illegal or dangerous, and joining together with others to take action can alleviate feelings of guilt and anxiety.
