Climate change affect

child future
 Scientists and health experts warn that children
will suffer from infectious diseases, malnutrition
and air pollution worsened by climate change, in a
new report in The Lancet.
 A child born today will experience a world that is
more than 4˚C warmer by the time they turn 71
years old, which will threaten their health at every
stage of their life.
  heat wave scorched Europe, wildfires tore across
the Amazon rainforest, parts of California, Russia
and the Arctic, and Hurricane Dorian pummeled
the Bahamas
 Their bodies and immune systems are still
developing, leaving them more susceptible to
disease and environmental pollutants
 The Lancet medical journal, scientists and health experts
from 35 academic institutions and United Nations
agencies said that children will suffer from a rise in
infectious diseases, malnutrition and air pollution if global
warming continues on the current trajectory
 annual report tracking connections between public health
and climate change.
 If greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate,
Analysis the atmosphere will warm up by 1.5˚C in about 20 years.
Warming starting at 2˚C 
could trigger an international food crisis in coming years,
according to a recent report from the U.N.'s scientific
panel on climate change.
 climate change is causing the spread of dengue fever, a
mosquito-borne disease. Nine of the 10 most hospitable
years for dengue transmission have occurred since 2000.
 children will breathe more toxic air throughout
their lives, which will lead to reduced lung
function, worse asthma and an increased risk of
heart attack

Analysis  77% of countries across the world experienced an


increase in exposure to wildfires from 2001 to
2014 and from 2015 to 2018,
 Sea levels are now rising at an ever concerning
rate
 quick action to curb climate change and prepare global health
systems for the immense challenges ahead.
 If global warming is limited to well below 2˚C, which is a goal of
the Paris Climate Accord, then a child born today could
experience a world that will reach net-zero emissions in about
30 years
 Global greenhouse emissions would need to be cut in half in just
12 years and reach net-zero by 2050 in order for temperatures
to remain at 1.5˚C.
Prevention  Our children recognize this climate emergency and demand
action to protect them,
 While India is joining the global shift towards renewable energy,
it still overwhelmingly relies on coal for electricity, with an 11%
increase in its energy from burning coal in 2016-2018,
compared to less than a 1.5% rise in China. To dramatically
reduce emissions by 2050, and to meet multiple Sustainable
Development Goals, India must transition away from coal and
towards renewable energy.
