The climate crisis is already changing girls’ lives and futures. Save the Children’s analysis shows that between now and 2030, almost 60% of girls - that’s 931 million - will experience at least one extreme weather event, like flooding, drought or heatwaves.
An estimated 4 million girls in lower income countries (countries where individuals have the smallest incomes) missed out on completing their education due to climate-related events in 2021.
And right now, at least 49 million people, including girls and their families are on the brink of starvation, unable to learn and grow because longer lasting droughts and the war in Ukraine have combined to create a hunger crisis the size and severity of which has not been seen before.
