Climate Change and Children’s Rights

UNICEF Canada is putting several resources on our Web site that will provide you with a variety of tools designed to support you in your work with students around climate change. We know you are working with your students to affect meaningful and lasting change, and we hope to assist in your efforts to inspire your students to take action at a local level.

Climate Change, Children and Youth: Local Connections to Global Issues ( Grades 9-12)

This guide has been created to support secondary school educators in their efforts to work with youth to take action on climate change.

Through the thought-provoking activities contained here, students will have the opportunity to nurture their compassion and discover how climate change is affecting children around the world, especially children in developing countries. We aim to provide you with tools that will support your students in their efforts to affect meaningful and lasting change, and inspire them to take action at a local level.

For your ease, we have broken the guide into individual guides by theme.
