#Children Climate-related disasters not only come uninvited, but they also bring a cascade of other challenges with them. Children can lose access to safe drinking water, healthcare and shelter, leaving them vulnerable at a time when they need protection and security the most. Food shortages and poor nutrition can lead to malnutrition and affect their health, growth and ability to learn, with consequences that can last much longer than the disaster itself https://kathmandupost.com/columns/2026/11/05/how-climate-change-is-reshaping-the-way-children-grow-up #ClimateChang

The global equality organization has found that the richest 0.1 percent of the world’s population are heavily invested in disaster preparedness, recovery and reconstruction — a market that is projected to grow from US$70 billion to US$92 billion a year by 2029.
