This page offers fact sheets and graphics to describe how climate change affects children's health. The resources explain that rising temperatures and pollution make allergies, asthma, and heat-related illnesses worse for kids. Poor air quality from wildfires and fossil fuels harms their lungs. Floods increase risks of mold exposure and mental stress. Children are more vulnerable because they spend more time outside and rely on adults to keep them safe. The page suggests ways to protect children, like checking air quality reports, using filters indoors, staying hydrated in heat waves, preparing for floods, and reducing carbon pollution to slow climate change impacts on future generations.
