On Friday, the third anniversary of climate campaigner Greta Thunberg's lone protest outside the Swedish Parliament, a global report revealed the scale of risks posed by the climate emergency for the world's children.
\u201cThe climate crisis is ongoing, and it\u2019s deadly - especially to the most vulnerable. \n\nOne billion children face multiple climate shocks. To build a better, safer world for children, governments and businesses must take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now.\u201d— UNICEF (@UNICEF) 1629439201
"Our futures are being destroyed, our rights violated, and our pleas ignored."
--climate activists Greta Thunberg, Adriana Calderon, Farzana Faruk Jhumu, and Eric Njuguna
"Children are not afraid--and nor should they be--to demand that adults do everything they can to protect their future home."
--UNICEF
