Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to help protect children from the impact of climate change in conflict-affected states.

We are focused on tackling the climate and nature emergencies and global development challenges together with partners, by working for peace and preventing conflict, supporting the most vulnerable people, and promoting the global economic development and growth necessary to deliver opportunity for all. We know that children are disproportionately at risk from the effects of climate change, including in conflict-affected states, and children and young people will be at the forefront of shaping a resilient, sustainable future. The UK-led Glasgow Climate Pact urges Parties and stakeholders to ensure meaningful youth participation and representation in multilateral, national and local decision-making processes.
