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 nearly 50 countries over three decades, as well as surveying 5,000 girls and conducting in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 139 girls. Climate disasters such as floods, droughts, cyclones, 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. Further details on the study's findings are available, including the experiences of girls in several countries.
