How to protect children in times of the Climate Crises

Show notes

About this episode: In this episode, we focus on the climate-related work of SOS Children's Villages. We discuss how the climate crisis undermines children's rights, particularly for children without parental care. In addition to some basic facts about the nexus between the climate crisis and children's rights, the episode offers insights into the day-to-day work of the organization, including workshops with climate activists in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. We explore why the approach of SOS Children's Villages is gender-sensitive, and conclude by introducing the Eco-Champions programme.

This podcast, Climate Action - Child Protection, is produced by SOS Children's Villages weltweit and explores various dimensions of the connection between the climate crisis and children and youth rights. Similar to the first season, climate journalist Leonie Fößel and researcher Jakob Nehls host impressive guests from around the world to discuss a specific aspect of this topic. On this journey, the listener will gain sensitivity to the urgency of action as well as expertise in selected fields.
