Unicef: 50% of children face multiple climate risks
A UNICEF report highlights that half of the world's children are exposed to at least three climate hazards, including heatwaves, floods, and droughts, with the most affected regions being Africa and Asia. In Papua New Guinea, children like Lorna swim across crocodile-filled rivers to reach school after a vital bridge was washed away and remains unrepaired, exposing them to health and safety risks. The report stresses that climate change is worsening infrastructure and increasing risks for children globally, emphasizing the need for governments to invest in resilient services.
