Co-designed by the General Comment No.26 steering group and Children’s Advisory Team, consultations took place with children across the world. Children shared their views and ideas on what should be included in the General Comment by:
- Answering questionnaires
- Taking part in creative workshops led by children, young people, schools and organizations using a participation toolkit
16, 331 contributions from children across 121 countries were received.
Our Planet, Our Rights, Our Voices: A Children’s Global Charter
Children are demanding a safe, healthy and sustainable world that respects their rights. Together with the General Comment No.26 Steering group, the Children’s Advisory Team has created Our Planet, Our Rights, Our Voices: a Children’s Global Charter. This is a window into some of the key messages, stories, and calls to action children shared as part of the global process of creating General Comment No.26. As far as possible, it uses children’s own words to illustrate their visions for a clean, healthy and sustainable world.
Our Planet, Our Rights, Our Voices is not an official document of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child.
