This report highlights the disproportionate impact of climate change on children in Africa, a region that has contributed minimally to global carbon emissions. Drawing on data from the Children’s Climate Risk Index (CCRI) developed by UNICEF, the report emphasizes how children are biologically less equipped to handle the effects of shocks such as water scarcity to vector-borne diseases and flooding, to name just a few - whose frequency and intensity is increasing due to the effects of climate change. The sheds light on how African children face extraordinarily high levels of exposure and vulnerability to climate-related hazards. The report calls on relevant stakeholders to prioritize five key sets of actions: 1) Strengthen climate resilience of essential service systems to protect children and communities; 2) Allocate more domestic and international funding for child-responsive climate programs; 3) Equip children with climate education and green skills; 4) Involve children in decision-making processes; and 5) Reduce carbon emissions globally.
