UNICEF climate crisis pay attention to the impact on children
Plan International, Save the Children and UNICEF, a member of the Environment Rights Initiative (CERI) coalition members, and according to a new report prepared by Save the Children and UNICEF, climate fund commitments fail to reach children carrying the actual burden of the climate crisis. The report states that only 2.4 percent of the most important global climate funds support children-sensitive activities. According to UNICEF’s Climate Risk Index of Children, more than a billion children are at extremely high risk in terms of the effects of climate crisis. The 14-year-old UNICEF children's rights defender and climate activist Maria Marshall is our “Children's future and our future is now shaped by making decisions from buyers. But our voice does not hear. It is a must to finance climate solutions as this report shows. But how much this financing is spent. Children’s needs and perspectives should be included as long as possible.
Emergency and effective investment climate change adapt switch

Falling short: Addressing the climate finance gap for children (To stay anonymous: to address climate financing deficit for children) study, UNFCCC (European Change Framework Agreement) and the key role within the Paris Agreement used three criteria to assess the climate financing allocated from multi-sided climate funds (MCF) with key role: the climate crisis caused by the climate crisis does not address and receive significant and increased risks; increasing the endurance of basic social services for children and strengthening and strengthening children as change ambassadors. Plan International Bangladesh Country Director Kabita Bose continues to be said that “It is very clear of the body”: “Emergency and effective investment is the key to adapt to climate change, and it is very important for all children, especially for girls who are quite sensitive to short and long-term effects. However, the existing spending is almost completely ignored the children and it is necessary to change. “
The center of the fight against children's rights
The report reveals that in the last 17 years until March 2023, the amount of all climate funds that are divided into climate-related projects is met only 2,4; 1,2 billion US Dollars. The report also states that this amount may be a high estimate, in other words, less money may be used to meet all requirements. Save the Children’s Global Climate Change President Kelley Toole, “Children, especially those affected by inequalities and discrimination, which are at least caused by climate change, but most affected groups from that. Climate financing offers the opportunity to fight these injustices by taking into account the needs and perspectives of children. Unfortunately, it was insufficient, but this situation may change and change. For a real struggle with the climate crisis, the child's rights have to be put in the center of our intervention and ensure that children's sounds are heard."
Fones have critical importance
Although multi-sided climate funds create a relatively small part of the general climate financing, it is important that these funds take into account the children. These funds are a critical role in determining my agenda Tags. In addition, it plays an important role in public and private financial institutions, including national levels, to accelerate and coordinate investments. All this has great importance to ensure that the change reaches everyone. Children; water and food scarcity associated with both extreme weather events and slow start-up climate events, water- transmitted diseases and physical and psychological trauma in a more brittle condition. There are evidence to prevent children from access to basic services such as education, health and clean drinking water.
The attack is a child's right attack]
UNICEF Climate Defender Private Advisor Paloma Escudero is talking as follows: “Every child is at least one and often subjected to multiple climate hazards. Critical social services such as health and water are insufficient in financing and investment needed for adaptation to climate hazards, and children do not pay attention to the urgent and unique needs. This should be changed. Climate crisis is a child’s right attack and climate finance should also reflect it.” The report draws the gold of the children’s active stakeholders or exchange ambassadors, often seen as a group of vulnerable situations. Less than 4% of the projects, (only 7% of the MCF investment; 2.58 billion US Dollar) is an open and meaningful contribution to the needs and participation of girls.

It should reach children.
]Children’s Environmental Rights Initiative (CERI) coalition calls other climate finance providers, which provide multi-sided climate funds, as well as international and national climate financing, to quickly move and eliminate deficiencies in compliance. Specifically, climate change requires financing to meet losses and damages caused by. According to the coalition; the financing in question should become the favor of children and give priority to basic social services that support them. The focus point should be to reach children under the most vulnerable situation and high risk due to climate effects and support them.
