Children sweat less than adults and have faster metabolisms making them more susceptible to extreme heat. This can lead to illness and even affect school performance. The world is only getting hotter, and by 2050, every child on our planet – over 2 billion – will be exposed to high heatwave frequency. Inaction is not an option. We need urgent #ClimateAction, for every child.

The joy of play! In UNICEF’s child-friendly space in Ethiopia, children like 8-year-old Sadik who are displaced experience childhood like they should - one of play and happiness. Community workers like Layla are a critical part of these spaces. Ethiopia’s Somali region has been severely affected by a 2022 drought, resulting in large numbers of families being internally displaced. Millions of children across eastern and southern Africa have been affected by climate disasters like extreme rainfall, floods and drought. #ForEveryChild, climate action.
