Over a Billion Children Confront Climate Risks
A report by UNICEF indicates that approximately 1.1 billion children worldwide are exposed to at least three climate-related dangers, such as drought, extreme heat, and heatwaves. The report highlights that children are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their sensitive bodies and their greater needs for water and food. It explains that these risks often overlap and exacerbate one another, with around 300 million children living in areas affected simultaneously by drought and heatwaves. Additionally, more than 115 million children face combined conditions of drought, heat, and tropical storms. The report specifically notes that regions such as the Sahel in Africa, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan are particularly impacted.
