A report from UNICEF says that almost all children in the world face climate dangers. About 1.1 billion children face three or more dangers at the same time.

聯合國兒童基金會 (UNICEF) 的一份報告指出，全世界幾乎所有兒童都面臨氣候危險。約有 11 億名兒童同時面臨三項或更多項危險。

Many children face very hot weather and no rain. These are the biggest problems. Air pollution and sickness also hurt many children.

許多兒童面臨極端高溫且缺乏降雨。這些是最嚴重的問題。空氣污染和疾病也傷害了許多兒童。

Children in Asia and Africa have the most problems. Some children in Italy also face heat and no rain. Poor countries have no hospitals or schools to help them.

亞洲和非洲的兒童問題最為嚴重。義大利的部分兒童也面臨高溫與乾旱。貧困國家缺乏能提供幫助的醫院或學校。

Climate problems stop children from going to school. UNICEF says we must stop using oil and coal. We need clean energy and better schools to keep children safe.

氣候問題阻礙了兒童就學。聯合國兒童基金會表示，我們必須停止使用石油和煤炭。我們需要清潔能源和更好的學校來確保兒童的安全。

Children around the world are in danger. We must act now to stop climate change.

全世界的兒童正處於危險之中。我們必須立即採取行動以阻止氣候變遷。

A report from UNICEF shows that almost every child in the world is exposed to at least one climate hazard. Furthermore, approximately 1.1 billion children face three or more of these threats at the same time.

聯合國兒童基金會的一份報告顯示，世界上幾乎每個兒童都暴露在至少一種氣候災害中。此外，約有 11 億名兒童同時面臨三種或更多的這類威脅。

The Children's Climate Risk Report 2026 examines eight main climate hazards, including floods, droughts, extreme heat, and storms. According to the data, drought and extreme heat are the most common risks, affecting 1.8 billion and 1.2 billion children respectively. Additionally, the report notes that air pollution affects nearly every child globally, while 1 billion are exposed to malaria.

《2026年兒童氣候風險報告》分析了八種主要的氣候災害，包括洪水、乾旱、極端高溫和風暴。根據數據，乾旱和極端高溫是最常見的風險，分別影響了 18 億和 12 億名兒童。此外，報告指出空氣污染影響了全球幾乎所有兒童，而有 10 億名兒童暴露在瘧疾威脅之下。

Geographic analysis shows that vulnerability varies by region. For example, over 4 million children in the Sahel region face a combination of heatwaves, extreme heat, and dust storms. High-risk exposure is most severe in Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan. However, wealthy nations are also affected; in Italy, 6 million children face droughts and long heatwaves. The report emphasizes that a lack of basic social services, such as healthcare and education, makes it harder for children in fragile states like Chad to recover from these disasters.

地理分析顯示，脆弱程度隨地區而異。例如，在薩赫勒地區，超過 400 萬名兒童面臨熱浪、極端高溫和沙塵暴的共同影響。高風險暴露在孟加拉、緬甸和巴基斯坦等亞洲國家最為嚴重。然而，富裕國家也受到影響；在義大利，有 600 萬名兒童面臨乾旱和長期熱浪。報告強調，缺乏醫療和教育等基本社會服務，使得乍德等脆弱國家的兒童更難從這些災害中恢復。

These climate hazards have serious effects on education, as they disrupted schooling for 242 million children in 85 countries during 2024. To reduce these risks, UNICEF argues for a shift toward renewable energy and the removal of fossil fuels. The organization suggests creating a plan for climate adaptation that focuses on protecting schools and hospitals, setting up early warning systems, and providing climate education to empower young people.

這些氣候災害對教育產生了嚴重影響，在 2024 年期間，導致 85 個國家的 2.42 億名兒童學業中斷。為了降低這些風險，聯合國兒童基金會主張轉向可再生能源並淘汰化石燃料。該組織建議制定氣候適應計劃，重點保護學校和醫院、建立預警系統，並提供氣候教育以賦予年輕人能力。

The current global situation shows that children are widely vulnerable to multiple environmental threats, which means urgent action is needed to reduce emissions and adapt our systems.

目前的全球情況顯示，兒童廣泛地易受多重環境威脅影響，這意味著需要採取緊急行動以減少排放並調整我們的系統。

A UNICEF report indicates that nearly all children globally are exposed to at least one climate hazard, with approximately 1.1 billion facing three or more concurrent threats.

聯合國兒童基金會的一份報告指出，全球幾乎所有兒童都面臨至少一種氣候災害，約有 11 億人面臨三種或多種同時發生的威脅。

The Children's Climate Risk Report 2026 utilizes a probabilistic model based on a 100-year return period to quantify pediatric exposure to eight primary climate hazards: coastal floods, droughts, extreme heat, fires, heatwaves, riverine floods, sand and dust storms, and tropical storms. The data reveal that drought and extreme heat are the most prevalent risks, affecting 1.8 billion and 1.2 billion children, respectively. The most frequent hazard combination consists of drought, extreme heat, and heatwaves, impacting 296 million children. Furthermore, the report integrates climate-sensitive variables, noting that air pollution affects nearly every child globally, while 1 billion are exposed to malaria.

《2026年兒童氣候風險報告》利用一個基於 100 年回歸週期的機率模型，來量化兒童面對八大主要氣候災害的風險：沿海洪水、乾旱、極端高溫、火災、熱浪、河流洪水、沙塵暴及熱帶風暴。數據顯示，乾旱與極端高溫是最普遍的風險，分別影響 18 億與 12 億名兒童。最常見的災害組合為乾旱、極端高溫與熱浪，影響 2.96 億名兒童。此外，該報告整合了氣候敏感變數，指出空氣污染幾乎影響全球每位兒童，而有 10 億人面臨瘧疾威脅。

Geospatial analysis indicates disparate levels of vulnerability. In the Sahel region, over 4 million children encounter a triad of heatwaves, extreme heat, and dust storms. High-intensity exposure is most acute in Asian nations, specifically Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan. Conversely, high-income nations are not exempt; for instance, 6 million children in Italy are exposed to drought and prolonged heatwaves. The report emphasizes that vulnerability is exacerbated by a lack of essential social services. In landlocked and fragile states, such as Chad and the Central African Republic, the absence of healthcare and education infrastructure impedes recovery. Similarly, all children in 24 Small Island Developing States face systemic disruptions due to tropical storms.

地理空間分析顯示，不同地區的脆弱程度存在差異。在薩赫爾地區，超過 400 萬名兒童面臨熱浪、極端高溫與沙塵暴的三重威脅。高強度風險最為嚴峻的地區是亞洲國家，特別是孟加拉、緬甸與巴基斯坦。相反地，高所得國家亦未能倖免；例如義大利有 600 萬名兒童面臨乾旱與長期熱浪。報告強調，缺乏基本社會服務會加劇脆弱性。在內陸與脆弱國家，如查德與中非共和國，醫療與教育基礎設施的缺失阻礙了恢復過程。同樣地，在 24 個小島開發中國家，所有兒童都因熱帶風暴而面臨系統性崩潰。

Institutional implications are significant, as climate hazards disrupted the schooling of 242 million children across 85 countries in 2024. To mitigate these risks, UNICEF advocates for a strategic transition toward renewable energy and the phasing-out of fossil fuels. The organization proposes a framework for inclusive climate adaptation, emphasizing the resilience of child-critical infrastructure, the implementation of multi-hazard early warning systems, and the empowerment of youth through climate education to ensure their participation in governance processes.

對體制影響顯著，2024 年 85 個國家的 2.42 億名兒童因氣候災害而導致學業中斷。為了降低這些風險，聯合國兒童基金會倡導策略性地轉向可再生能源並逐步淘汰化石燃料。該組織提出一個包容性氣候適應框架，強調強化兒童關鍵基礎設施的韌性、實施多重災害預警系統，以及透過氣候教育賦能青少年，以確保他們能參與治理過程。

The current global situation is characterized by widespread pediatric vulnerability to compounding environmental threats, necessitating urgent systemic adaptation and emission reductions.

目前全球的情況在於兒童面對複合環境威脅的脆弱性十分普遍，因此急需進行系統性適應與減排。
