itemprop=description content=Floods linked to overflowing rivers could spark 96 million child displacements in the next 30 years
New York, United States - Weather disasters fueled by climate change -- from floods to droughts, storms to wildfires -- sparked 43.1 million child displacements from 2016 to 2021, the UN Children's Fund warned Thursday, slamming the lack of attention paid to victims.
"I was afraid, in shock," Maia says in the report. "I would stay up all night." Statistics on internal displacements caused by climate disasters generally do not account for the age of the victims. The data reflect the number of displacements and not the number of children affected, as the same child could be uprooted more than once.
"The reality is with the impacts of climate change, or better tracking of displacement when it comes to slow onset events, that the number of children who are uprooted from their homes is going to be much greater."The UNICEF report offers some partial predictions, for specific events. Floods linked to overflowing rivers could spark 96 million child displacements in the next 30 years, while cyclonic winds could force 10.3 million displacements, it says. Storms surges could lead to 7.
UNICEF called on world leaders to take up the issue at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai in November and December.

National Emergencies Operation Centre Inaugurated: PM Seeks Global Cooperation To Address Climate Change EffectsCaretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-Ul-Haq Kakar has urged the world to step forward and help developing countries like Pakistan to cope up the adverse effects of climate change. He said this while inaugurating the National Emergencies Operation Centre in Islamabad. The Prime Minister lauded the establishment of NEOC that will help in coordinated efforts to not only manage the natural disasters in the future, but will help in disaster risk reduction and mitigation of damages. Prime Minister maintained that NEOC will serve as hub of all technological inputs related to climate change, disasters management and predictive modeling for national emergencies. He recalled that nearly one third of the area of the country was affected by floods in 2022 and 30 billion dollars were estimated to be the economic losses. He also praised the role of NCOC both in covid-19 and 2022 floods. Prime Minister further stated that climate change is a real challenge that will keep haunting the future generations unless concrete steps are taken. He underlined despite being one of the least contributors of carbon emissions globally, Pakistan is one of the top countries affected by climate change. The Prime Minister also praised the coordinated efforts of all state institutions during the devastating floods of 2022, especially the national disaster management authority.
