Exposure to pollution: Children in poor nations are at a higher risk of exposure to air, water, and soil pollution, which can lead to respiratory problems and other health issues.
Climate change impacts: Extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves can worsen living conditions for children in these countries, affecting their health and well-being.
Lack of access to clean water and sanitation: Poor sanitation facilities and limited access to clean water increase the risk of waterborne diseases and malnutrition among children.
