Ways that can be used to address climate change around the world. Climate crisis is affecting everyone but the most vulnerable are children and those living in poverty affected communities making them to account to consequences brought by the impacts besides being least responsible for it.We ought to believe that every child has the right to both a healthy and safe environment today and a sustainable future.These ways are briefly discussed as follows; First,restoration of natural environment is recommendable.For instance,operations that partake this action include Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration(FMNR),a community led nature based solution that reverses environmental degradation and tackles poverty,hunger and climate change through the regeneration of trees and shrubs and the Humbo forestry project,a community managed reforestation initiative in southwest of Ethiopia has regenerated 2,728 hectares of degraded land. Secondly,reducing climate risks and responding to natural disasters may create a great impact.We could partner with vulnerable children,families and communities to reduce their exposure to climate risks through a community led approach to Disaster Risk Management. Building climate-smart livelihoods and green jobs may be considered to least impact on the solution to climate change but it is not so.The World Vision is supporting a Green Recovery from COVID-19 because we cannot mitigate future crises without addressing climate change and taking actions to eradicate poverty and inequality. In addition to that,supporting children's participation should also be considered vital when it comes to addressing climate change.We have to believe that creating spaces for children's activism will have a transformative impacts on their lives and also posses power to change society for the better. Besides that,we should also advocate for greater climate action.This can be done by continuing to work with our cohorts at the local,national and global levels to scale up ecosystem restoration and mitigate climate change. Finally,we have to reduce our own environmental impact by reducing environmental and carbon footprint by incorporating environmentally sound practices and policies. https://www.wvi.org/opinion/view/six-ways-we-are-addressing-climate-change-around-world
