Children’s Declaration on Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation
Considering the high
risk of climate change and disasters on children, the Department of
Probation and Child Care Services, UNICEF, ChildFund Sri Lanka and World Vision
Lanka facilitated the development of ‘Children’s Declaration on Disaster Risk
Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation’, which emphasizes six key demands from
children. Those are:
1. Education should be
continued for all children, all the time, in a safe environment 2. Children’s
voices should be prioritized in disaster management and climate change
adaptation plans 3. All
Development work should be sustainable 4. Children
should engage in developing disaster early warning systems 5. All
children should be protected during disaster situations and emergency responses 6. All
families affected in a disaster should get financial support through social protection
programmes
See by the numbers how we are engaging youth voices for positive social change.
