Abstract
Climate change represents the global challenge of the 21st century with significant implications for human rights, particularly those of children. This text explores how climate change affects children’s rights according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international instruments, emphasizing the importance of the right to a healthy environment. It also analyzes the practices and efforts of the Committee on the Rights of the Child in safeguarding children from climate change. Special emphasis is placed on the vulnerability of children as climate migrants and their role in climate lawsuits that demand state accountability for failures in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. The paper also examines the impact of climate change on the position of children in Serbia, a country considered one of the most vulnerable in Europe regarding climate consequences.
