The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child issued legal guidance on Monday outlining measures governments must take to protect children from climate change.

It cements the connection between children’s rights and the environmental crisis, marking a major step forward in ensuring they live in a clean, healthy and sustainable world.

UN News’s Bessie Du spoke to Āniva Clarke, a 17-year-old climate activist from Samoa and member of the Children’s Advisory Team supporting the consultation process. 

Āniva began by talking about her own activism, how climate change is affecting Samoa and other Pacific islands, and why the guidance could make ‘a huge difference’ for young people worldwide.
