CPHA and Climate Intersectionality Learning Needs Analysis – Your help needed!

Now and for decades to come, climate change will exacerbate child protection risks and threats to the safety and mental health of children, and further inequity through its intergenerational impacts. It will contribute to increased conflict, displacement, food insecurity, financial hardship, structural violence; as well as more frequent and intense drought, heat waves, floods, fires, and other climate-related disasters. 'The Climate Crisis, Climate Justice and Child Protection'; has been flagged as a crucial area for the Alliance to explore 'looking forward'.  

The Alliance recognises that achieving a future for children free of violence, and where their rights, protection, and well-being are assured, is inextricable from the climate crisis.
Therefore, we need to invest in foundational and exploratory steps, in partnership with our members and partners, to better understand the impact of the climate crisis on children in humanitarian settings, as well as the effects of the climate crisis on our ways of working as a sector.

The L&D Working Group and the Climate Group of Friends of the Alliance aim to conduct a learning needs analysis to identify gaps, priorities, and opportunities for enhancing knowledge, skills, and capacities on the intersectionality between child protection in humanitarian action and the climate crisis as the stepping stone to design an appropriate learning pathway.
