UNICEF study: 1 in 3 Eastern Caribbean children face triple climate hazard exposure

A landmark child-centred climate study finds one in three children in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean live in areas vulnerable to at least three climate hazards, indicating a systemic exposure risk. The study underscores a lack of safe zones for children in the region, though specific hazards and policy responses remain unspecified. This matters as it quantifies a chronic vulnerability that could drive migration, strain infrastructure, and shape regional adaptation funding.
