In my readings I found issues and trends the rural people where challenge by and I like to share at least three insights or ideas that I gained from studying the websites were about the

 “Climate Change and Rights” (http://www.unicef.org/rightsite/sowc/pdfs/SOWC_Spec%20Ed_CRC_Main%20Report_EN_090409.pdf) p.71

In Sharing with my colleagues what I have learned so far from these exchanges (or from the websites)

In most rural family’s children in the regional areas of the countries or held victims of unfair treatment of their civil rights and complex challenges endure upon issues of poor living conditions that are at risk due to poverty that affects their life cause bad health to survival in growth and development, protection and participation in education are a big concern facing issues and trends in the regional country of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa and other urban countries who children and families are at risk in the international and nation that are affected by the climate change. Also, children vulnerability is affected by the impacted of the climate conditions towards their health, education and mental and physical well-being in which their livelihood is in danger or impacted by suffering from the environmental hazards within their living conditions that they are exposed within their daily lives. The following affects of the harmful climate change affects their Physiological and cognitive development. Therefore, the children well-being is in state due to infections more than adults due to their sensitivity are vulnerable to strong ultraviolet radiation, poor shelter and outdoor air pollution from biomass fuel. The children growth and development is impacted by mental and physical which can cause impairments, disease, infections, under nutrition, acute respiratory, diarrhea, malaria and other vector-borne diseases. Furthermore, “in 2007, studies estimated that 46 countries with a total population of 27 billion people, may face a greater risk due from violent conflicts, social economic and political stresses that intersects with the climate conditions. For instance, the drought, flooding caused poor physical infrastructure and lack systems to cope with climate change in the areas in where they live. However, most of the time death’s among children were under 5 years old. According to research “many of the main killers where children who suffer from under nutrition which contributes to more than one third of all children under-five deaths” (p.65)

According to research “ In 2007 children suffer consequences of psychosocial trauma, recruitment which lead to forces of displacements and forced migration which may in turn lead to family separation and exposure to trafficking and exploitation.” (p71)“Also, last but not least, the evidence strongly suggests that the climate change will make achieving the millennium development goals even more difficult, because children will be the ones who may need to support household income, making it more difficult for them especially girls, to attend school. (p.65)

“Furthermore, In 2008 there is an” increasing scarcity of water and other natural resources will place an even greater burden on girls and women, who undertake most of the household fuel and water collection. “And the cost of mitigating climate change may leave less money for social spending on health, education, and other social protection programmers.”(p.65) “ In 2008, under 18s accounted for 47 percent of the world’s 49 least development countries, compared with 21 per cent in industrialized countries.” (p.65)

In Describing my new insights and information about issues of poverty

I learned that the convention on the human rights of the children passed a treaty and law that consist of four base core principles nation and international which protects the human rights of all children regardless of their culture, age, sex, race, disability, and ethnic background or socioeconomic status and social progress that is effected by poverty. Also, the treaty was signed by 70 countries and the local legislature and government worldwide, in which  place children rights to be the forefront of the legislature base on civil, political, cultural social, economic rights encouraging friendly budget initiatives, and influence an increase usage of children’s rights of language to be influence and focus upon policies programs and advocacy for the children civil rights is to ensure and secure a healthy, educational and social protection in order to save the children worldwide, national, local and within industrialized countries.

Furthermore, I learned the children and their families who live in regional country of South Asia and Sub-Sahara learned about their equal rights and protection. According to updates “On 20 November 2009, the global community celebrates the 20th anniversary of the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the unique document that sets international standards for the care, treatment and protection of all individuals below age 18. To celebrate this landmark, the United Nations Children’s Fund is dedicating a special edition of its flagship report The State of the World’s Children to examining the Convention’s evolution, progress achieved on child rights, challenges remaining, and actions to be taken in account  and to ensure that its promise becomes a reality for all children.”

However, the children learned “regardless of the unbearable climate conditions their focus on how to survive, believe, have faith stand up for their equal right was to not give up. The children and their families endure a lot to live as human beings but was treated so unfair by their country.. However, no matter what challenges they may had to  face or hard times or pain that came their  way in order for them to survive they  new they had to stand firm regardless of the  under suffering. Why? Because it’s their  right to be treated with respect and dignity.” Therefore, the children and their families endure what is called survival, faith, and belief within their livelihood upon unlivable conditions of the climate changes to survive as individual to have civil rights, health, protection, and participation in education. In other words it takes self courage to stand up for what you believe in life. I learn that most people will do whatever it take to survive are get what they want. Furthermore, everyone should have a choice in life and no or nothing is wroth losing your life over that is why everyone should respect each other human rights as a person. Also, put them self in the other person shoes before making judgments. In other words, treat a person the way you would like to be treated. I believe everyone should be treated with respect and dignity in life and as a human being who deserves equal rights. “The Progress on Survival and Development Rights” (p.2)
