Equal Education Law Centre has noted and appreciates the broad inclusivity in the way the Draft General Comment was drafted, for instance through consideration of the specific ways in which climate change affects certain groups of children such as children living in poverty, refugee and migrant children, children with disabilities and children living in rural communities, all of whom form part of Equal Education Law Centre’s client-base. In addition to the above, we also note and appreciate the Draft Comment’s acknowledgement of the multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination such as those experienced by some groups of children, for instance, girl children, children with disabilities and the children of minority groups.
