UN-Backed Study: Climate Change Risks Vary by Age and Location

UN-Backed Study: Climate Change Risks Vary by Age and Location

A new study shows climate change isn't hitting everyone the same.

Scientists found extreme weather events, like heatwaves and floods, will happen more often.

Young people and working adults in Asia and Africa will be most at risk.

In places like Europe, North America, and Australia, the elderly are most vulnerable.

The study showed climate change is the main problem, but population growth also plays a part in some areas.

This means we need plans to help those most affected, depending on where they live and how old they are.
