Children and youth are key agents of change in tackling the climate and environmental crisis, which risks undoing decades of progress fighting for children\u2019s basic rights. Although they are often not given space to participate in making decisions about their environment, children and youth are increasingly raising their voices because they understand that environmental emergencies are issues of intergenerational justice. The needs and priorities of children and youth cannot be ignored in an inclusive approach to addressing the climate and environmental crisis.<\/p>\n

Children, especially from the most vulnerable and marginalized backgrounds, are more exposed to and disproportionately impacted by all kinds of environmental harm than any other group, despite being the least responsible for it. Almost every child on earth is exposed to at least one form of climate and environmental hazard, shock or stress, affecting their ability to realize the rights guaranteed to them. The climate crisis and biodiversity loss are threats that will transform childhood and jeopardize a sustainable future for children and future generations globally. It is vital for children to realize their rights to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment.<\/p>\n

Principles and Policy Guidance\u00a0<\/em>on Children\u2019s Rights to a Safe, Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment in the ASEAN Region<\/em>\u00a0sets out fundamental principles for realizing children\u2019s rights to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment and for putting the best interests of children at the center of initiatives by all segments of society in Southeast Asia. It was developed through a consultative process with experts in the fields of child rights and environmental issues, including children and youth from across the region. The\u00a0Principles and Policy Guidance\u00a0<\/em>provides essential policy guidance for governments, civil society, businesses, the media, and children to implement the principles.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Principles and Policy Guidance\u00a0<\/em>on Children\u2019s Rights to a Safe, Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment in the ASEAN Region<\/em>\u00a0is a collaboration between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and\u00a0Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights). Together with CRC Asia, a\u00a0child-friendly information brief on the \u00a0Principles and Policy Guidance was produced in partnership with children aged 14-18 years old from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
