Climate change poses significant risks to child health, with its effects impacting both physical and mental well-being. Rising temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and changing patterns of infectious diseases all contribute to these risks. Heatwaves, for example, can increase the incidence of heat-related illnesses, such as dehydration, heatstroke, and respiratory distress. Children, particularly infants and those with pre-existing conditions like asthma, are more vulnerable to these effects due to their smaller body size and developing immune systems. Air pollution, exacerbated by climate change, also worsens respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and other chronic lung diseases. In addition, climate change contributes to the spread of infectious diseases, including vector-borne illnesses like malaria and dengue fever, as rising temperatures and altered rainfall patterns expand the habitats of disease-carrying mosquitoes. These conditions disproportionately affect children, who are more susceptible to infections and their complications.
