UNICEF: Climate Change and Displacement Are Related; Clearer Than Ever Climate Change Affects Kids

UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) stresses that while the link between climate change and displacement is complex, it's clearer than ever that there is a correlation, the EuroNews website reports today (Oct. 7, 2023).


Storms, floods, fires and other extreme weather events led to more than 43 million displacements involving children between 2016 and 2021, according to a United Nations report.


More than 113 million displacements of children will occur in the next three decades,estimated the UNICEF report released Oct.13, which took into account risks from flooding rivers and cyclonic winds.
