Climate Change and Children’s Health Facts

Abstract: Climate change is not in some far off future. It is happening now. We are experiencing increased temperatures, more extreme weather events, rising sea level, an extended pollen season, and shifting ranges of disease-carrying insects. Our children are already suffering from the effects of climate change, and will continue to suffer the health consequences – until we limit carbon emissions from power plants, end fossil fuel subsidies, and transition to a clean energy economy.
