Countries around the world have expressed their concerns regarding climate change. In such a situation, a human rights group issued a warning about climate change on Wednesday. Human rights groups have said that nearly one billion children are at extreme risk because of the damage caused by climate change. According to human rights groups, the standard of living of youth has not improved in the last decade.
Kids Rights Index Claims
The Kids Rights Index, based on data gathered by United Nations agencies, also recognized that more than a third of the world's children (about 820 million) were currently exposed to heatwaves. Dutch NGO Kids Rights said water scarcity has affected 920 million children worldwide, while diseases such as malaria and dengue have affected nearly 600 million children. That is, almost one out of every four children in the world is badly affected by it.
These countries got the worst ranking
The Kids Rights Index is an annual global index that reflects the adherence to child rights reforms in countries around the world. Iceland, Sweden, and Finland are ranked as the best for children's rights in the ranking of children's rights. While Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, and Chad have been rated as the worst out of 185 countries. At the same time, out of the top three countries, only Sweden's ranking has changed, Sweden has moved from fourth place to second.
Mark Dulart expressed concern about the report
