In December 2023, Nomin, a sponsored child and child leader with World Vision in Mongolia, participated in COP28. There she had the opportunity to be part of a global community of passionate, young climate activists, as well as global leaders and decision-makers in the COP28 dialogues.
"I believe that children's voices matter in a platform like COP28 because we can offer valuable insights and solutions. Despite the perception of children as 'vulnerable', we have the potential to contribute significantly to development and positive change."
"We play an influential role in shaping the global climate narrative, so we need to speak up. I will carry all these experiences and insights back to Mongolia so that I can advocate for a sustainable and resilient future in Mongolia."
Not a passive listener but an active doer, Nomin took action, establishing the Be Eco campaign," which has inspired over a thousand children to join the movement. She has also initiated several projects like planting trees, establishing a waste centre and raising awareness about the climate crisis among her peers.
World Vision believes that the climate crisis threatens the realisation of children’s rights and that girls and boys must have a central voice in climate change discussions and decision-making. In response to the climate crisis, World Vision is committed to empowering girls and boys as agents of change, and ensuring their active participation and opinions are reflected in climate action decision-making at the local, national and global levels.
