Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. In Latin America and the Caribbean, 4 out of every five boys and girls are overexposed to risks from dangers and adverse climate events such as water and food shortages, vector-borne and water-borne diseases, as well as physical and mental trauma. Psychological problems related to the impact of natural disasters and prolonged environmental phenomena. Additionally, another 10.9 million girls and boys experience the triple burden of being exposed not only to climate risks but also to poverty and conflict.
