    Around the world, people experience multiple climate-related impacts such as severe drought, flooding, air pollution and water scarcity, leaving their children vulnerable to malnutrition and disease. Almost every child on earth is exposed to at least one of these climate and environmental hazards.  Approximately 1 billion children are at an 'extremely high risk' of the impacts of the climate crisis. These children experience multiple climate shocks combined with poor essential services such as water, sanitation and healthcare. Children are being forced to grow up in an increasingly dangerous world. This is a crisis that threatens their health, nutrition, education, development, survival and future.  

    Learning objectives:

    • Learners will be able to recognize the particular vulnerability of children to the planetary crisis.

    • Learners will be able to discuss the contextual environmental challenges for children.
