Climate and conflict
The climate crisis acts as a threat multiplier. In regions already grappling with conflict, widespread displacement, and food shortages, the climate crisis amplifies existing insecurities, putting children at even greater risk.
Climate-related disasters can create conflict over limited resources or force people to leave their homes. Conflict undermines the ability of communities and governments to invest in systems and approaches that help people cope with the impacts of climate change.
The link between climate change and conflict is a major challenge that must be addressed to ensure stability, security and the well-being of children in conflict regions.
