Children are not like little adults. Their bodies and minds are uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change such as pollution, deadly diseases and extreme weather. Yet they have been either ignored or largely disregarded in the global climate change discourse and financing. This report examines another critical issue for children likely to worsen due to climate change: water scarcity and water vulnerability. The lack of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is destructive to all aspects of a child’s life.
