New report released, yesterday, by an international child rights group, Save the Children, has revealed that 58 million Nigerian children live with the dual impacts of poverty and high climate risk.
The report is based on a research published by Save the Children in partnership with Vrije Universiteit Brussel, which found that children born in 2020 will, on average, face seven times more scorching heat waves during their lives than their grandparents; and that newborns across the globe will, on the average, live through 2.6 times more droughts.
According to the report, an estimated 774 million children across the world or one-third of the world’s child population are affected with the dual impacts of poverty and high climate risk. The analysis revealed that India has the highest total number of children, both living in poverty and bearing the brunt of the climate crisis, up to 223 million children in total.
