Nearly half world's children exposed to three or more climate hazards ... United Nations, United States –More than 1 billion children face at least three overlapping climate hazards, UNICEF warned Monday, while highlighting the disproportionate impact in some regions of the world. For the report, the U.N. agency cross-referenced data showing where the roughly 2.4 billion children on the planet live with the geographic distribution of the eight most common climate impacts. These are coastal flooding, river flooding, drought, tropical storms, heat waves — at least three days above a high temperature threshold, which varies by country — extreme heat, wildfires and sandstorms. The report primarily focuses on the 1.1 billion children who are exposed to at least three risks, with the most common combination being drought, extreme heat (above 35 degrees Celsius) and heat waves. That combination affects some 296 million children, including 74 million in Nigeria, 34 million in Pakistan and 32 million in India. The number of children in this three-or-more category has increased sharply over the past 20 years. Almost all children — some 2.3 billion — are exposed to at least one risk. 2 …
