Bringing General Comment No. 26 to your home, community and country.
About
The Take It Home campaign wants to make sure that children’s right to a healthy environment is protected in Southern Africa. We’re working to make General Comment No. 26 (GC26) a part of local laws and policies and get everyone involved. To do this, we’ll have a regional launch event in Harare, Zimbabwe in August 2024, create a toolkit with fun activities for children and youth to help spread the word, and run a social media campaign to share our message.

General Comments No. 26
General Comment No. 26 (GC26) is the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child’s authoritative guidance on how the environmental crisis affects children's rights and outlines what governments need to do to ensure that children can live in a clean, healthy, and sustainable world. Adopted in September 2023, GC26 reflects the input of children from over 121 countries, including Southern Africa, who were consulted from October 2021 to February 2023. Their experiences underscored the urgent need to address these challenges. Read more about General Comment here.
