World Vision West Africa Advocacy Statement – World Environment Day 2025

On World Environment Day 2025, World Vision West Africa raises its voice for the children whose lives are deeply affected by climate change. Environmental degradation threatens their well-being, survival, and protection. 

We believe that access to a clean, safe, and sustainable environment is a fundamental child right. This year, we spotlight the power of youth in driving climate action. Governments, donors, and institutions must prioritize child-centered environmental policies, invest in climate education, and ensure youth voices are heard. 

It's time to act boldly to secure a thriving future for every child in West Africa.
