UNICEF: Tree Planting

The environment needs children!


Empowered children are a dynamic and ultimately powerful force for protecting and improving the environment.

What children learn today will shape the world tomorrow. Instilling environmental awareness at a young age is the best way to protect the environment. But increasing childrens environmental awareness is not enough. For children to become effective agents of change, avenues must exist for their knowledge to be translated into advocacy and action.

UNICEF uses its water and sanitation programmes around the world to educate and empower children on environmental issues related to water, sanitation and hygiene. Activities include the development of sanitation and environmental education programmes in schools and initiatives that promote the participation of children in local, national and global environmental initiatives.
