Climate Change and Children
Climate change and urban children: Impacts and implications for adaptation in low and middle income countries (DRAFT PAPER) (Bartlett, S., 2008)
This paper discusses the probable impacts for children of different ages from the increasing risk of storms, flooding, landslides, heat waves, drought and water supply constraints that climate change is likely to bring to most urban centres in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It also explores the implications for adaptation, focusing on preparedness as well as responses to extreme events and to changes in weather patterns.
