Research Interest: Climate change is one of the most significant global challenges of the 21st century, with far-reaching impacts on ecosystems, economies, and human health. Among the most vulnerable populations are children, who face both direct and indirect consequences of a changing climate. These include increased exposure to extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, floods, and storms, as well as shifts in disease patterns and air quality deterioration. Furthermore, the psychological impacts of climate anxiety and displacement due to environmental disasters can severely affect children's well-being and development. Children are also disproportionately affected by the long-term socioeconomic consequences of climate change, as many live in communities that are highly vulnerable to environmental changes. This abstract explores the multifaceted effects of climate change on children, emphasizing their heightened vulnerability, the intergenerational dimensions of the crisis, and the urgent need for climate justice and adaptation strategies to safeguard children's health, rights, and futures. Addressing climate change is not only an environmental imperative but also a critical child protection issue that requires comprehensive global action and policy reform to ensure a livable world for future generations.
