Climate shocks increase risks for girls, including child marriage, violence, and early pregnancy. Research analyzed three decades of health and climate disaster data from 52 low- and middle-income countries. An additional survey of 5,000 girls and young women, as well as in-depth interviews and discussion groups with 139 participants, was conducted.

The study found that climate disasters, such as floods, droughts, and extreme heat, severely impact girls' access to essential health and education services. This occurs at a time when they need these services the most. Further details on the research and its findings are available from the source, providing more insight into the effects of climate shocks on girls in various countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Peru, Senegal, and Zimbabwe.
