UNICEF Warns of Intensifying Climate and Tech Risks for Children by 2050

A new report highlights the potential impact of climate change and technological advances on the world's children, urging immediate policy action.

UNICEF projects that by 2050, children will face eight times more heatwaves and three times more river floods compared to the 2000s.
The report identifies three global megatrends affecting children: demographic shifts, climate crises, and frontier technologies.
India is expected to have 350 million children by 2050, facing acute risks from climate change and technological challenges.
Technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, present both opportunities and risks, especially in widening the digital divide.
UNICEF emphasizes the urgent need for policy changes to protect children's rights and ensure their well-being in a rapidly changing world.
