Child and Youth Friendly Justice for the Climate Crisis: Relying on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

Abstract The climate crisis is a human rights crisis, and one of the worst affected groups is children and youth. This same group has been key to climate action in and outside of the courts. As well as engaging in numerous consultative fora such as cop, and in the introduction of a General Comment on the right of children to a healthy environment, they have gone on to become key litigators in climate cases/applications at both national and international level. These justice processes are, however, notoriously ill suited to the particular needs of children and youth. Child friendly justice is a concept which has been elaborated in recent years by the Council of Europe. Yet climate litigation is very different to the cases (e.g. in family law) in which children have traditionally been parties – amongst other things it can involve very public campaigns. This article considers child and youth friendly justice in the context of the climate crisis through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and through the concepts of access, participation, interests, and judgments.

Public Knowledge and Attitude of Caregivers Regarding Leftover Medications for Children under 6 Years of Age in Japan: A Descriptive Study on a Nationwide Exploratory Questionnaire Survey to Caregivers.

Leftover medications are a global concern for harm to health and inadequate medical care costs. However, information on leftover medicines and their inappropriate use in children in Japan is lacking. We aimed to clarify the proportion of leftover and re-use of children's medications in Japan. We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional questionnaire survey using eight web-based domains, which covered parents' demographics, children's demographics, actual practices in handling about leftover (1) acute medication, (2) chronic medication, (3) short-term medicine, (4) antibiotic, and (5) topical medication, and attitudes towards leftover medicine. The questionnaire comprised 40 questions. We obtained responses from 3046 caregivers with children aged under 6 years before elementary school. Among these participants, 95% (2674/2809), 57% (147/256), and 69% (1687/2457) had experience with leftover acute medication use, medication for chronic disease, and short-term medication use, respectively. Instances of leftover antibiotics being given to the child's brother/sister, parents, and child's friends were 8.7, 7.9, and 3.2%, respectively. This trend was similar to other medication categories. In conclusion, most caregivers have experienced leftover medications; however, managing leftover medications depends on their beliefs and is influenced by inadequate knowledge about medications. Most of these cases lead to inadequate use of medications in children. Medical staff, especially pharmacists, need to educate and instruct caregivers on the appropriate use of children's medications.

Children are the future leaders of a nation's development, thus they have the right to special treatment in the form of protection and child rights. Accelerating the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Child-Friendly City (CFC) policy was initiated in 2006. In its implementation, CFC is divided into 5 clusters of children's rights that must be fulfilled, one of which is civil rights and freedoms. Surabaya City is recognized as a Child-Friendly City and has maintained this status for the past six years. Given this achievement, it is interesting to analyze the implementation of the CFC in Surabaya concerning the cluster of Civil Rights and Freedoms. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method, gathering both primary and secondary data, which are comprehensively analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings reveal strong commitment demonstrated by Surabaya City in its Child-Friendly City policy to fulfill children's civil rights and freedoms, evidenced by easy access to birth certificates and identity cards for children, as well as the establishment of the Child Friendly Information Center (Pusat Informasi Sahabat Anak - PISA) enabling children to access information and exchange ideas freely.

O-242 Why do we need to act NOW?

Abstract In the early 1970s, the Report of Rome represented a powerful wake up call to the world. If the world population would continue to grow the way it did until then, catastrophe was predicted and the future of the planet would be in danger. All attempts should focus on decreasing world population growth. At that time the global total fertility rate (the number of children born per woman) was around 5. Policies were implemented worldwide aiming to reduce the number of children born, and the widespread introduction – at least in the more developed world - of various contraceptive strategies in the 1970s certainly helped to reach this goal. Especially in Western societies, the liberation in women (increased participation in higher education, more focus on work and career, and control over when to start a family if at all) was significantly enhanced, dramatically reducing the number of children born. In this context, it is no surprise that organizations like the European Union or the World Health Organization gave very low priority to fertility care, which would potentially increase the number of children born. For a population to remain stable, approximately 2.1 child needs to be born per woman. At present, in more than 50% of all countries worldwide – mainly the more prosperous ones – the number of children born is below replacement level. It is anticipated that societies below replacement will increase up to 90% of all countries worldwide during the 21th century. Hence, underpopulation - causing distinct society challenges - rapidly becomes of distinct concern to many governments, especially in European countries, China, and Japan. It is a generally recognized human right, in case individuals or couples wish to establish a family. However, historically little attention has been dedicated by policy makers to fertility care, mainly because the justified concerns for overpopulation. However, the incidence of infertility remains around 15% worldwide and treatment options have significantly improved. In addition, demand for fertility care is increasing year by year, especially by single individuals, lesbian or gay couples and other members from the LGBTQ+ community who wish to establish a family. At present, at least 10% of all children born are due to infertility therapies in some wealthy countries. However, access to fertility care varies dramatically due to high cost of treatment and lack of insurance coverage of such treatments in the great majority of countries. At present, governments increasingly introduce so called “child friendly” policies (such as financial compensations, extended pregnancy and parental leave, free child care, tax benefits, etc), aiming to decrease barriers for people who wish to have children. Unfortunately, improved access to fertility care is not yet part of this discussion. Over half a century, family planning strategies exclusively focused on the prevention of unwanted pregnancies aiming to reduce world population growth. However, at present family building strategies (helping people who wish to establish a family) should also be included in future family planning strategies.
