The global United Nations campaign ‘UNite to Combat Climate Change’ will kick off in October with an auction and exhibit of children’s art in New York.

Showcasing children’s fears and hopes for the planet, the paintings are a powerful plea from children for leadership on climate change before it is too late.

The exibit opening and the press conference start at 12.30 at the Main Lobby of United Nations Headquarters in New York City, on October 23.

The 25th, a selection of the paintings will be auctioned at the Harvard Club of New York City to raise emergency funds for children affected by climate-related disasters, such as the recent storms and hurricanes in the Caribbean.
