*[Enwl-eng] All countries must now protect kids from climate change - except the U.S.

[ENWL]

Kids have won the right to a healthy climate — in every nation except the U.S. The U.S. Is the Only Country in the World That Has Not Signed This Vital Treaty Sign Now        We have exciting news - children all around the world can now sue nations over climate change, according to international human rights law experts!   An independent panel of experts that interprets United Nations human rights law — the Committee on the Rights of the Child — concluded that all countries have a legal obligation to protect children from environmental degradation such as climate change.   Underage citizens have the ability to seek legal recourse against nations that do not take action, such as by regulating businesses and emissions, to prevent climate catastrophe.   This applies to every nation and every child on Earth... except for those in the United States.   Why? Because, even though the Convention on the Rights of the Child is considered the most widely ratified treaty in human history, the U.S. is not a signatory. Meanwhile, every single other country in the world has signed it. Young people literally can't consent to the actions taken by governments around the world, because they are too young to participate in the political process. Yet they will be saddled with all the future consequences of adults' inaction on climate change. That is exactly why their right to a clean environment must be protected at all costs. The United States must finally ratify the treaty that gives children this right. There is no excuse for the U.S. to be the only country on earth that hasve not yet ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child! Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S.  All children have a right to a habitable, safe, healthy planet. And, importantly, kids should not have to suffer consequences of the actions of generations before them. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
