A climate landscape analysis for children in Moldova

The climate crisis is a children’s rights crisis. Our country is experiencing record temperatures, water scarcity and flooding like never before. Our seasons are changing and pollution continues to contaminate the air our children breathe and the water they drink.

It is Moldova’s poorest children who are the worst affected. They often live in unsafe housing and have the worst access to safe water, food and energy, which leaves them vulnerable to climate hazards such as storms, flooding and drought.

Around 77% of young people surveyed through U-Report reported that climate change had already had an impact on their families. We care deeply about climate change - but cannot tackle the crisis alone. We need support from the Government and organisations such as UNICEF.
