Foster climate action and sustainability by harnessing the power of family
Climate change negatively affects family health and well-being through increased pollution, extreme weather events, disruptions to agriculture and food systems, and economic impacts. Empowering families for environmentally friendly decision-making, supporting community initiatives and integrating family-centered and intergenerational approaches into policies can ensure more meaningful and effective climate action. The 2024 International Day of Families (15 May) aims to raise awareness of climate change impacts on families and promote family and community initiatives for climate action.
