Climate shocks, regardless of type, increase the risks of child marriage, violence, and early pregnancy among girls. 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, along with in-depth interviews and discussion groups, was conducted.

The study found that climate disasters compromise girls' access to essential health and education services. This is particularly concerning as girls rely heavily on these services during such times. Further details on the research and its findings are available, providing insight into the impact of climate shocks on girls' well-being in various countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Peru, Senegal, and Zimbabwe.
