UNICEF's report, Child Well-Being in an Unpredictable World, reveals that extreme weather events linked to climate change, including storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires, are becoming increasingly frequent and impacting children's school attendance.

UNICEF notes that Mexico has the highest number of students affected globally by climate change, with 13.1 million children impacted, primarily due to heatwaves.

Colombia follows with 4.29 million children affected by drought, followed by Chile with 2.73 million affected by storms.

Costa Rica, Japan, Italy, and Austria also feature in the top ten. The following data shows the affected population and the primary cause:

1. Mexico: 13,100,000 (heatwaves)

2. Colombia: 4,298,929 (drought)

3. Chile: 2,738,467 (storms)

4. Costa Rica: 1,124,379 (storms)

5. Japan: 1,007,142 (tropical cyclones)

6. Italy: 916,325 (floods, storms)

7. Romania: 703,765 (storms)

8. Croatia: 452,318 (heatwaves)

9. Czech Republic: 305,936 (floods)

10. Austria: 258,981 (floods)

"As with conflict, concerns about climate change affect far more children," UNICEF wrote, as quoted on Thursday, July 25, 2025.

UNICEF also estimates that nearly half of the schools in European Union (EU) cities are located in 'heat islands,' areas with higher temperatures than their surroundings, threatening children's well-being.

"Meanwhile, about one in ten schools are located in flood-prone areas," UNICEF wrote.
