Summary
Ministers committed Jersey to indirectly incorporate The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child using a model of ‘due regard’ as part of the Government’s commitment to ‘put children first’.
The United Nations Human Rights Committee on the Rights of the Child issued a concept note which recognises climate change as a key children’s rights issue. Environmental harm negatively affects children’s lives more going forward, much more than adults.
This report provides an updated version of the Impact Assessment for the Carbon Neutral Roadmap and analyses the policies within the Roadmap and their likely impact on children.
