Save the Children

We’re working to ensure children, their families and future generations can cope with shocks, adapt to climate change and break out of poverty.

Children are facing more extreme weather in an increasingly unequal world. Climate-related heatwaves, droughts and flooding destroy crops, livestock, and livelihoods.  Millions of families today can’t afford to feed their children or send them to school. Conflict, climate change and the cost-of-living crisis are making poverty worse worldwide – especially for children and their families who are forced to leave their homes.  

Without addressing the climate crisis directly, today's children will bear the greatest burden, especially those living in the most vulnerable regions in the world.

All children have the right to a social safety net so they can cope with shocks, adapt to climate change and break out of poverty.
