Published in : 2007 Available in : English The evidence is clear: global warming is a fact, and it will have a dramatic impact on humankind. The likely effects of this warming – increasingly frequent and severe natural disasters, temperature extremes, a global rise in the sea levels – will be unevenly felt and will hit children in developing countries hardest of all.

When the danger to future generations of children is assessed, it becomes clear that the need for international action focused on children and climate change is vital.
