10億兒童面臨極高氣候風險

About 1 billion children, nearly half the world's 2.2 billion, live in 33 countries classified as "extremely high-risk" to the impacts of climate change, a report of UNICEF, the UN Children's Emergency Fund, says.

聯(lián)合國兒童基金會的一份報告顯示，在全球22億兒童中，大約有近一半(約10億兒童)生活在33個"極高風險"的國家，這些國家極易遭受氣候變化影響。

These children face a deadly combination of exposure to multiple climate and environmental shocks with high vulnerability due to inadequate essential services, such as water, sanitation, healthcare and education, the report said.

這些兒童的生存面臨著多種氣候和環(huán)境突發(fā)事件的影響，并且由于水、環(huán)境衛(wèi)生、醫(yī)療和教育等基本服務不足，他們在面對這些影響時十分脆弱。

Children living in the Central African Republic, Chad, Nigeria, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau are most at-risk, threatening their health, education and protection and exposing them to deadly diseases, it said.

中非共和國、乍得、尼日利亞、幾內(nèi)亞和幾內(nèi)亞比紹的兒童面臨的氣候變化風險最高，氣候變化將威脅到兒童的健康、教育和受保護狀況，并使他們更有可能患上致命的疾病。
