Climate change driving child marriages and teen pregnancies
A new report warns that climate change is pushing more girls into child marriages and teen pregnancies, as droughts, floods and crop failures deepen household poverty and prompt families to marry off daughters early or pull them from school. The findings add to growing concern that the climate crisis is hitting girls in developing countries hardest, with commentators reacting to the scale of the indirect social toll.
