00:00A new United Nations report is warning that children are on the front line of the climate crisis.
00:05UNICEF says almost every child worldwide is now exposed to at least one climate hazard.
00:10The risks include drought, extreme heat, floods, tropical storms, wildfires, and disease threats.
00:18The numbers are massive.
00:20About 1.8 billion children face drought exposure.
00:23Roughly 1.2 billion are exposed to extreme heat.
00:26And 662 million children live in areas threatened by tropical storms.
00:31UNICEF says the danger is not just one disaster at a time.
00:35Many children are facing multiple hazards at once, putting pressure on health, food, water, and schooling.
00:42In 2024, climate-related disasters disrupted education for 242 million children in 85 countries.
00:50Reuters also reports growing concern in Arlington, Texas, where new gas wells have been permitted near schools.
00:58UNICEF says governments must invest faster in safer schools, stronger health systems, early warnings, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
01:07The warning is clear. Protecting children is now a central test of climate preparedness.
