This week’s FFF post is not fun, but it is important! We often discuss how we see climate change impacts by looking at trends across the world. What is sometimes not highlighted is what these impacts can do to human health.

The Climate Consensus fun fact friday. We know human-caused climate change disproportionately affects the most vulnerable populations-- this includes children. Children are at greater risk from weather-related hazards, including extreme heat, lengthening pollen seasons, reduced air quality, and extreme weather events. These hazards pose a serious risk to children’s physical and mental health. In fact, experts state that children and adolescents are facing a mental health emergency, which is exacerbated by climate change impacts. Read below for more information and some resources on how to protect kids’ health.

Children are disproportionately impacted by a changing climate. Kids spend more time outdoors, have limited, if any, control over their environment, and are generally more vulnerable as they grow and develop.

Children’s health can be affected by extreme weather events, increased duration of pollen season, and extreme heat. Extreme heat is the deadliest weather-related hazard in the U.S., and children are among the most at risk of extreme heat-related illness.
