These are the key messages of UNICEF\u2019s newly published study\u00a0Unless We Act Now: The Impact of Climate Change on Children.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director, we must act now \u201cbut action must begin with knowledge and understanding of the costs of inaction.\u201d In making this report, UNICEF combined state-of-the-art demographic data on the world\u2019s child population with scientific projections on the likely impacts of climate change in the decades ahead in order to offer a unique look at climate-related risks children face. The study offers likely scenarios for children if nothing changes as well as if many things do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from detailing major climate-related risks, children\u2019s current and future exposure to these risks, the report also focuses on policies required to protect children from these risks and offers recommendations to prevent global warming and decrease children\u2019s exposure and increase their resilience to climate change and environmental risks.<\/span><\/p>\n
