Mark dollars said the Rights Kids organization (Children’s Rights) Foundation in a private interview with Alan now that the tenth edition of the Children’s Rights Index this year revealed that the climate crisis is the biggest threat to children’s rights.
Noting that there are 920 million children who lack access to water and 815 million children who are subjected to extreme heat waves, this already affects one billion people.
In addition, 90% of children worldwide are at risk from air pollution, and 400 million children are exposed to hurricanes and floods.
He highlighted that the rights of children and children’s rights are seriously threatened by the climate problem.
Dollars added: “If we look at the past ten years, the sad news is that living standards and the rights of children in all countries of the world have not improved in general and in the group of countries that have recorded the lowest degrees such as Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea and the Central African Republic, the situation was worse.
Afghanistan came in second on the ranking, according to the Rights Kids Foundation, because it produces the majority of the world’s refugees.
These refugees include many young people.
Additionally, he made note of the fact that in Sierra Leone, fewer than 50% of pupils have completed their secondary education, and that practically daily armed group attacks on schools expose youngsters there to violence.
Dollar pointed out that the same issue exists in Equatorial Guinea, that all four nations are ranked very poorly at the bottom of the rating, and that many youngsters lack access to clean water and sanitary facilities.
What he thought is troubling.
“I think COP 27 this year in Egypt in Sharm El-Sheikh is an important conference for children in the world and not only for this generation, not only for our children and grandchildren, but in particular for future generations,” a dollar said in reference to the climate conference that will be held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
I hope for two things in COP 27: first, that a recommendation has been prepared and that governments adopt it. Second, that all uses of fossil fuels and their production are gradually phased out. A dollar indicated that if it is not moved now, it will be for future generations who have not yet been born a planet that they cannot live in, their rights will not be protected, and even the standard of living will be unable.
At the 2009 Cope Conference in Copenhagen, it was promised that the wealthy nations would contribute $ 100 billion annually to aid the poor countries that are most affected by the climate because they are primarily responsible for producing contaminated gases and the countries must The Poor bear the consequences. Dollar also expressed his hope that the wealthy nations will keep their promises to the poor nations.
Dollars, however, showed that despite the fact that poor countries have received between 20 and 24 billion instead of the 100 billion pledged each year and that many loans have been extended to them, these nations are unable to repay them.
Mark Dollar reports that the climate issue has harmed two billion youngsters.
