Climate Change & Children's Health: Air Quality
Climate change is worsening air quality, and children will experience greater health risks from more exposure to pollution.
Climate Change & Children's Health
Children are especially sensitive to climate change impacts, in part because they are still growing and developing. They spend more time playing outdoors and have less control over their surrounding environments. The effects of climate change experienced in childhood can have lifelong consequences on physical and mental health. Children rely on their adult caregivers to help protect their health at home, in school, and when recreating outdoors.
