According to the UN children’s rights organization UNICEF, more than a thousand young people aged 13 to 18 participated in writing the report.
Climate change is by far the most important issue for the young Netherlands residents who contributed to this year’s UNICEF youth advice. In a report that will be published on Monday, on Youth Budget Day, they make several proposals for change, including banning advertisements for meat, air travel, and the fossil industry.
The young people also say that they think it is important “that people understand how these products or services contribute to climate change.” They suggest paying attention to the topic at school and putting information about the climate impact of products on their packaging.
