Children will, on average, suffer seven times more heatwaves and nearly three times more droughts, floods and crop failures due to fast-accelerating climate change, found a report from aid agency Save the Children. This would have an "unacceptable impact on children", Save the Children said. "The climate crisis is a child rights crisis at its core," said Inger Ashing, chief executive of Save the Children. "This is what's at stake when governments head to the COP26 global climate talks in Glasgow in November. These children's lives and future are all at stake," said Erin Ryan, a report author and Save the Children advisor.
