The Impact Of Climate Change On Indonesian Children

Children are playing by jumping into the sea in a slum area in North Jakarta, Indonesia, on August 18, 2024. UNICEF and the Government of Indonesia are releasing a groundbreaking report that examines the increasingly severe impacts of climate change on children in Indonesia and underscores the urgent need for climate policies and programs to focus on children. The Climate Landscape Analysis for Children report is revealing significant gaps, finding that many social sector policies, laws, regulations, and plans are overlooking the impact of climate change and are not including child-focused actions to address climate change such as rising temperatures and sea levels. Indonesia is ranking 46th out of 163 countries on The Children's Climate Risk Index issued by UNICEF, indicating children's high vulnerability to environmental stresses and extreme weather events. A significant majority of children in Indonesia are being exposed to air pollution, while an estimated 28 million are being exposed to coastal flooding, and 15 million to heat waves.
