As environmental crises increasingly threaten children’s lives,
health, and futures, we believe the right to a clean, healthy,
and sustainable environment is not just an environmental
issue; it’s a child rights issue.
CRC Asia, together with regional and global partners, advances
this through child-centered advocacy, policy work, and youth
leadership.
Children and youth helped shape UN General Comment No.
