CHILDREN V. CLIMATE CRISIS
COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMITTEE ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD
“The science is incontrovertible: global warming is caused by human activities that emit
carbon dioxide (“CO2”) and other greenhouse gases (“GHG”)2 into the atmosphere of the
planet.3 Each day, the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, and
agriculture add hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 to the atmosphere, where it will remain
for centuries. There is now more CO2 in the atmosphere than at any time in the past 800,000
years.”

Studies show that climate change has had a large impact on mental health within the last few years. Young people especially are suffering. It was reported that 45% of young adults and teenagers feel that climate anxiety affects their daily life.
It’s crucial to remember that climate anxiety should not be dismissed as overreacting - it's a healthy response to an existential threat. That’s why my team at EcoWatch created a resource highlighting ways to manage this anxiety

It isn't nice to go to jail,
There are nicer ways to do it,
But the nice ways always fail."
