This research by the Child-centred Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change (CDCC) Consortium - comprising Plan International, Save The Children, UNICEF and World Vision - explores how climate crises and environmental degradation affect children and young people's lives in ways that would prevent them from learning and being protected.
The report highlights that climate crisis has affected children and young people’s right to survive and growth. Half of those killed or injured by climate hazards in the last 5 years were children and youths. Among those who receive less food after a climate-induced disaster, nearly two-thirds are children, and a quarter of them are youths. These impediments lead to stunted growth and prevents children from reaching their full potential, says the report.
