A new Unicef report reveals that approximately 20,000 children are displaced every day due to extreme weather caused by climate change. China and the Philippines have the highest number of child displacements, while small island states like Dominica and Vanuatu are the most affected relative to their child populations.

Climate disasters: Ninety-five percent of the total displacements of children were caused by floods and storms.

Weather disasters fueled by climate change sparked 43.1 million child displacements from 2016 to 2021, the U.N. Childrens Fund has warned.

More than 43 million children have been driven from their homes by floods, storms, droughts and wildfires over the six years between 2016 and 2021, according to new data from UNICEF. That works out to 20,000 children displaced every single day due to extreme weather fueled by climate change.
