Climate Action: World Vision Policy Position

World Vision believes that responding to climate change is a justice issue. Climate justice represents the interdependence of human rights, development and climate action, as climate change is deeply rooted in pre-existing social inequalities. We see climate justice as an approach that places children at the centre of the climate crisis and brings about solutions that are good for the planet and good for people by upholding their rights and addressing social inequalities.

This paper outlines World Vision’s policy position on climate action, our response as a global Christian child-focused humanitarian, development and advocacy agency, and our recommendations for increased global action to respond to climate change and support the world’s most vulnerable children, families and communities.
