The report monitored children displaced due to climate change, predicting the problem will only get worse
A new report from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) revealed that more than 43 million children were displaced due to weather events — all of which were linked to climate change — in the years from 2016 to 2021. This amounts to roughly 20,000 child displacements every single day.
The climate change-linked weather events included storms and floods (which comprised 95 percent of the incidents), followed by droughts and wildfires.
