The “Education Kit on Climate Change and Child Rights – How to defend child rights affected by climate change” is a teacher and (peer) facilitator’s guide for exploration and action in industrialized countries. The toolkit aims to empower young people as actors of change through classroom activities with recommendations for facilitators and teachers working with young people aged 11-16 years old. The activities were designed to involve children as much as possible through role plays, simulations, games, and creative writing. The toolkit can also be used in combination with the video “Child Rights and Climate Change: Your World, Your Voice, Your Future
