The Uninhabitable Present

We asked a group of young UNICEF reporters to document the situation of the climate crisis in their own region in the lead up to COP27. This is their warning to the world.

We asked a group of young UNICEF reporters to document the situation of the climate crisis in their own region. These are the stories of the people they met in South Sudan, living on the front line of the crisis. 

This is their warning to the world. 

Pledges at climate conferences are not enough. Resources and solutions must reach all affected communities. We need more solutions for climate change mitigation, adaptation and loss and damages. They must be binding. Affected countries should not go into debt for a crisis they didn’t create.

Young people need a seat at the table.

Climate justice is the only way forward.
