The climate crisis is not just changing the planet - it is changing children.
From the moment of conception until they grow into adulthood, the health and development of children's brains, lungs, immune systems and other critical functions are affected by the environment they grow up in.
Geography does not protect against climate change; it is affecting children everywhere - even in in high-income countries - and the world is not doing nearly enough to protect them.
