“Caring for Our Children is Caring for Our Planet”
According to UNICEF, climate change is the biggest threat to children, impacting their health, education, and rights. Many children in 33 countries face high risks due to climate effects. Children are more vulnerable to climate impacts, like disrupted education and health. Moving due to climate change raises risks of abuse. Droughts and floods have harmed 149 million children, and 345 million people in 82 countries faced severe food shortages by mid-2022. Climate change also hits water-scarce areas, causing farming issues and more poverty. Faith-based efforts promote climate justice, focusing on fairness for all. This means considering social, gender, economic, and environmental issues. It also involves faith and values to create positive change.
Protecting vulnerable children from climate impacts is a key concern.
This Year, the Wear My Shoes Award Campaign, in its third edition, aims to mobilize children and adults to respond to the climate crisis and its impact on Health, Education, Poverty, Violence, Justice and Migration.
The global campaign will examine the contributions made by faith leaders, faith communities, civil society, and non-profit organizations to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and protect children from climate change’s impact on their well-being.
The Wear My Shoes Award 2023 will recognize ongoing outstanding climate actions initiated and/or promoted by children at the grassroots level. The World Day Planning Comitee aims to support actions that empower children and youth to address the root causes of
climate injustice and focus protecting children’s dignity, including the most vulnerable and at the highest risk.
The Five winners will be announced soon!
