This chapter examines the intersection of climate change, children’s rights, and gender inequality within Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) communities. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach in Goromonzi and Zvimba districts (2022–2025), the research analysed data from households in the A1 and A2 settlement types, complemented by qualitative interviews with key informants and community members. The study reveals four critical pathways through which climate impacts systematically undermine children’s rights: water insecurity creating gendered educational barriers, agricultural disruption compelling survival-oriented child labour, energy infrastructure deficits intensifying domestic work burdens, and health system vulnerabilities compounding climate-sensitive disease risks. Girls experience disproportionate impacts through culturally embedded responsibilities for resource collection, with climate-induced time poverty emerging as a mechanism perpetuating intergenerational inequality. The research documents stark infrastructure disparities between settlement types, illustrating how post-land reform structures intersect with climate vulnerability to create unequal adaptation capacities. Findings demonstrate that climate adaptation strategies that fail to address structural gender inequalities reproduce existing disadvantages. The analysis advances a gender-transformative just transition framework, emphasising that climate action must simultaneously address environmental challenges and social justice imperatives to effectively protect children’s rights in climate-vulnerable communities.
