Children in Africa are among the most at risk of the impacts of climate change, with only 2.4 per cent of the global climate funding targeting the youngest, the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) has said in a new report launched in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.
The report released on Friday ahead of the Africa Climate Summit to be held in Nairobi on September 4-6. Lieke van de Wiel, Unicef deputy director for eastern and southern Africa, said that it is clear that the youngest members of African society are bearing the brunt of the harsh effects of climate change.
