  • A lack of access to safe water will impact almost 600 million children around the world over the next 2 decades, according to a UNICEF report, Thirsting for a Future: Water and Children in a Changing Climate. The report details how a depletion in sources of safe water increases the risk of death, disease, and malnutrition among children and how climate change will escalate these health risks in years ahead.
