A new report by First Street reveals that 79% of global data center capacity is at high risk from acute climate hazards like flooding and extreme winds. Chronic stresses such as heat and drought also affect over half of data centers, impacting energy efficiency and increasing costs. The Asia-Pacific region faces the highest risk.
A UNICEF report states that almost all children globally face at least one climate hazard, with nearly half exposed to three or more, risking their health, education, and survival. The situation is expected to worsen without urgent emission reductions.
A Unicef report reveals that over a billion children globally face at least three overlapping climate hazards like heatwaves, storms, floods, and droughts. The report highlights the severe impact on children's health, education, and survival, using an example from Papua New Guinea where a washed-away bridge forces children to swim across a crocodile-infested river to reach school.
