  • Mums like Shohiton Begum from Bangladesh face increased flooding and droughts as a result of climate change. Her vegetable garden was destroyed by flooding, so she was given a grant to buy a flock of ducks, seeds and taught to grow food. The extra income she earns from selling vegetables and duck eggs means she can rebuild and replant when floods hit again, so her family won't go hungry. She says, "We often had to go without food, but now things are getting better." © UNICEF/BANA2012-02038/Noorani

    Speak Up for Children Climate change has truly devastating effects on children around the world. Disasters like floods and droughts can damage homes and schools, cause psychological trauma, and lead to food shortages, hunger and malnutrition.
