“…On share-holders activism, the limited data from South Africa, where advocacy led to shareholder resolutions 126 forcing an assessment of exposure of a bank's climate related risks in lending and investments, and public disclosure of information in lending and investments in fossil fuel, suggests a potential growth and impact in the foreseeable future. 127 At the regional level, there are already concrete measures that are being undertaken that will aid in clarifying the procedural as well as substantive obligations of States in respect of climate change and children's rights.

Children, especially children in Africa, are disproportionately affected and their rights violated, as a result of the physical impacts of climate change. UNICEF has reported that 32 of the 45 countries identified globally in the Children's Climate Risk Index as the worst affected by climate change are in sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change threatens not only the immediate survival of children, but also their growth and development, as well as their ability to learn, play, and reach adulthood. Furthermore, the majority of Africa's children live in families and communities with little resilience to adapt to both climate-induced emergencies and slow-onset events. This as a backdrop, litigation is one important tool used, often as a measure of last resort, to address and expedite climate change action. The topic is of increasing interest regionally, and this article looks specifically at the convergence of child rights and climate change litigation in Africa. It is an attempt to respond to the question "what are the opportunities as well as challenges for current and future child rights-based climate change litigation in Africa"?
