Tackling the climate and inequality crisis for children: Peru Data Snapshot

Save the Children’s series of National Data Snapshots exploring data on the climate and inequality crisis is a collection of country briefings to support national advocacy to compliment the Generation Hope agenda for a greener and fairer future for children. The spotlights seek to include data on climate change, finance policy and outcomes for children, including data on SDG progress and government spending on education, health, social protection and food security and nutrition. Each makes recommendations to governments based on national priorities.

Key recommendations from the snapshot:

• Strengthen the participation of children in the National Commission on Climate Change, considering that the Advisory Council of Girls, Boys and Adolescents(CCONNA) is a member, but without the right to vote. 
• Include a childhood and adolescence approach in the migration service of the National Strategy on Climate Change by 2050. 
• Ensure that adaptation and response plans to climate emergencies include the voices and priorities of children and adolescents. 
• Raise awareness of the voices and needs of children and adolescents on environmental and climate issues. 
• Create safe and intergenerational spaces that facilitate dialogue between children, adolescents, and authorities involved in climate change adaptation and response. 
• Reinforce the different participation spaces for children and adolescents in the State regarding the environment and climate change.
