Climate disasters driving child marriage and teen pregnancy, study finds

Original: Climate disasters driving child marriage, violence and teen pregnancy, major study finds Exclusive: The new research loo

A major new study links climate disasters to a rise in child marriage, gender-based violence and teen pregnancy. The research examined climate data from more than 50 countries over the past three decades, combined with a survey of 5,000 girls plus in-depth interviews and focus groups. It concludes that climate shocks are pushing families into harmful coping strategies, with girls bearing the brunt.

Why now: The new findings expose an underreported human cost of the climate crisis, prompting renewed calls to protect girls in disaster-prone regions.
