UNICEF Urges Protecting Birth Registration Systems Amid Climate Disasters
Original: Securing and Adapting Birth Registration Systems in Response to Climate Change-Induced Disasters
UNICEF is calling for birth registration systems to be secured and adapted in response to climate change-induced disasters. When floods, storms or displacement destroy civil registries, children can lose legal proof of identity, cutting them off from schooling, healthcare and aid. The agency argues that resilient, digitised registration infrastructure is now a critical part of climate preparedness and child protection worldwide.
Why now: UNICEF's new guidance highlights a growing concern that climate disasters are erasing children's legal identity documents.
