This chapter interrogates the resilience of children in rural Zimbabwe in the face of climate change, examining how children’s rights to survival, development, and protection are both challenged and defended through various adaptive strategies. Utilising a qualitative case study research design in Ward 39, Gutu District, Masvingo Province, the study employs resilience theory to understand and interpret how children cope with climate-induced vulnerabilities. Research findings reveal that rural children resort to multiple survival strategies, including employment (child labour), prostitution, and seeking support from community networks, relatives, government programmes, and religious organisations. While these strategies demonstrate resilience, many simultaneously constitute violations of children’s rights, highlighting the complex intersection between climate adaptation and rights protection. The chapter concludes by advocating for improved investments in child-centred climate adaptation strategies that uphold rather than compromise children’s rights in rural Zimbabwe.
