A global study reveals that climate-related impacts put girls at risk of child marriage, violence, and teenage pregnancy. The study analyzed health and climate data from almost 50 countries over three decades, along with a survey of 5,000 girls and in-depth interviews with 139 girls in several countries. Climate disasters such as floods, droughts, and extreme heat are destroying health and education services that girls rely on.
The consequences of these disasters disproportionately affect girls who already have fewer resources. The study found that one in ten girls reported experiencing a specific negative impact, although further details are not specified here. More information on the study's findings is available from the source.
