Prawa dziecka w perspektywie kryzysu klimatyczno‑ekologicznego

Anthropogenic climate change, turning into a climate‑ecological crisis, has already influenced ani‑ mate and inanimate nature, and it is increasingly directly affecting people. The purpose of this article is to show the relationships between the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation, and children’s rights. Drawing on a review of academic literature and reports of international organizations, the author discusses the impact of climate change on children and examples of related violations of their rights. She points to the obligations of public institutions under the principle of intergenerational climate justice and possible actions (including in education) to contribute to greater respect for children’s rights in the context of the climate‑ecological crisis. Finally, she cites examples of actions undertaken by children in response to the crisis.
