Original: Climate change affects Indigenous children's health worldwide, review of 53 studies finds
A review of 53 studies has found that climate change is affecting the health of Indigenous children worldwide. The findings point to worsening risks from extreme weather, food and water insecurity, and disease exposure, with Indigenous communities often facing greater vulnerability due to their close ties to the land and limited healthcare access. Researchers are calling for climate policy to address these health impacts.
Why now: A newly published large-scale review draws attention to the disproportionate climate burden on Indigenous children.
