Climate Change & Children’s Health: Seasonal Allergies
Climate Central’s fact sheet details how the climate trends that are worsening allergy season affect children’s health and well-being.
Children are especially sensitive to climate change impacts, in part because they are still growing and developing. They spend more time playing outdoors and have less control over their surrounding environments. The effects of climate change experienced in childhood can have lifelong consequences on physical and mental health. Children rely on their adult caregivers to help protect their health at home, in school, and when recreating outdoors.
