This advocacy brief on climate, environment, energy and disaster risk resilience (DRR) explains how UNICEF works for and with children and young people to reduce risk, adapt to a changing climate and build resilience.

It encourages all stakeholders to:
1) Ensure child-critical services are more inclusive, and resilient to and prepared for disasters and wider climate change impacts;
2) Scale up and accelerate investment and resources in DRR and climate change adaptation measures centered on children and young people;
3) Empower all children and young people to be educated, prepared for and resilient to disasters and wider climate change impacts, and able to meaningfully participate in key disaster- and climate-related decisions and actions;
4) Integrate child-specific interventions into national and local DRR and climate policies and actions, ensuring that the risks to their survival, well-being and development are systematically considered and addressed; and
5) Strengthen the capacities of governments and other stakeholders on child-centered DRR and CCA by maximizing partnerships, supporting age- and gender-disaggregated and localized data collection and sharing technical expertise to inform, shape and influence DRR and CCA actions for and with children and young people.
