Nurturing nature: driving climate action for children

World Vision has worked towards ending poverty and improving the well-being of the world’s most vulnerable children for nearly 75 years, but climate change in the 21st century is changing the world we live in. We are witnessing to the unprecedented impact of climate change and environmental degradation – extreme heatwaves, droughts, flooding and cyclones. 

The impact of this unfolding crisis disproportionately burdens the world’s most vulnerable people – in particular children and those living in urban, fragile and developing contexts – despite being the least responsible for it. This is the injustice of climate change. Environmental sustainability and climate action (ESCA) are therefore at the heart of World Vision’s mission to create systemic, lasting change for children. Guided by the Do No Harm principle, it ensures every project, program, and disaster response is an opportunity to protect and restore the planet.
