UNICEF sponsors climate songUNICEF has released a new musical anthem on climate change across the airwaves and social media to highlight the impact of climate change and practical actions that everyone can take to mitigate it, with the expectation that an estimated 250,000 people will hear the song. It said the infectious anthem is a collaboration between socially conscious rapper Sang Sok Serey, 21-year old climate change campaigner Sonita Chin, and grassroots hip hop NGO Tiny Toones. The aim is to reach a mass audience of urban and rural Cambodians with the song’s message about the impact of climate change and the practical actions everyone can take to reduce that impact,” UNICEF said. Sonita said climate change was a global issue that affected all people since they all live on the earth. Citing UNICEF’s Children’s Climate Risk Index, the press release said Cambodia is in the top third of countries where children are most vulnerable to climate change.
