Inclusion of children and youth in climate change adaptations and mitigations is not just about consulting them or asking their views. It means giving them access to information that they need to comprehensively understand the dynamics of climate change and its impact on their rights, opportunities and responsibilities. It means encouraging them to use that knowledge in creative and innovative ways to safe guard their future, to design and implement their own actions with the support they need, and to take part in interventions initiated by adults.
