Some one billion children are at "extremely high risk" due to climate change harms, a rights group warned on Wednesday, adding that youths' living standards failed to improve in the last decade.
The KidsRights index, based on figures supplied by UN agencies, also said more than one-third of the world's children, some 820 million, were currently exposed to heatwaves.
Water scarcity affected 920 million children worldwide, while diseases such as malaria and dengue affected some 600 million children, or one in every four, Dutch NGO KidsRights said.
The KidsRights Index is the first and only ranking that measures how children's rights are respected annually, ranking Iceland, Sweden, and Finland as the best for children's rights and Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Chad as the worst, out of 185 countries.

A coming cooling (even ice age!) is partially correct but not for the reasons they stated.
We are currently in an Ice Age - the Quaternary. A geologic age defined by cyclic continental glaciations (ice ages). The last one ended something like 15,000-20,000 years ago. We’ve been enjoying a warming lull since then. That will end, someday the ice sheets will come again. Until then there will be ups (Greek\Roman & Medieval Warming periods) and downs (1200 BC cooling, Dark Age cooling and Little Ice Age 1300 - 1850). We now seem to be going into a cooling trend. Let’s hope it’s just that and not the end of the lull!
And Man has nothing to do with it!
Replace heatwaves with cold waves!
>> Two letters: DDT <<
Well played sir.
Yet here in the Inland Northwest we’ve had a near record-warm October! And I haven’t heard a single person complain about the 70-75 shirtsleeve fall days.
That all ends on Thursday and Friday when the first huge cold front of the season rolls in. Sob! 20-25 degree drops coming. We still haven’t turned on our furnace yet, but those money-saving days are going bye-bye.
Whenever they claim, “It’s for the children,” you know you’re about to get screwed.
Climate Change = Thermostat
“So, they should have been aborted.” That is the leftist answer.
The only time they love children is when they further their suicide pact
That is, if they survive abortion.
bla, bla, BLA, BLA
Globalism and abortion puts the whole world at risk.
How can it be a problem for chilluns when everybody knows that women and minorities are the ones who truly are hardest hit?
“Figures supplied by UN agencies” Yeah. Might as well be Wikipedia.
Have the moved any port cities to higher ground? If not then it’s political propaganda.
Banning DDT put them at risk.
If every country on Earth confiscated every penny beyond bare subsistence from every person and spent it all on “climate”, they couldn’t affect the global temperature by one degree or the sea levels by an inch. If you believe otherwise, you have been scammed. The objects of the scam- MONEY and POWER.
They lie to you in seeking that money and power, and many of you believe them. Though life on Earth is carbon-based, they have convinced you that carbon is a pollutant rather than the basic building block of life as we know it. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is four hundredths of one percent. If it was five time greater the only difference we’d notice is the plant life around us thriving. And the dominant greenhouse gas is water vapor.
The “elite” want you frightened. They want to ban fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Since the alternate technologies are not nearly capable of replacing them, you’ll freeze in the dark. But THEY won’t!
Is it time to start killing the elite yet?
"Daddy, why do Democrats hate children?"
"I don't think they really hate them, son."
"Then why do they want to kill them?"
