Given that children are already facing the impacts of climate change, adaptation and resilience measures are needed now to reduce the full force of impacts.

We must support their efforts, providing them with the necessary skills and resources to amplify their work. Above all, we owe them every opportunity for success as we work together to secure a better world for generations to come.
