Children ant youth of Aruba and worries about climate change
Between November 30 and December 12, Dubai hosted the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP-28). During this event, several important topics related to climate change will be discussed, amongst other the need to educate and empower everyone, especially children and youth ‘to understand and participate in the transition to a low-emission, climate-resilient world’.
In Aruba, given its unique vulnerabilities to climate change, the level of understanding and involvement of children and youth in climate action is the key to achieving a more sustainable and resilient way of life for our island.
During the Child and Youth Survey 2022, children and youth between 9 and 24 years of age were asked whether they were worried about climate change. The results are indicated in the infographic shown here.
