Report links climate change to child marriages and teen pregnancies

Original: Climate change driving child marriages and teen pregnancies

A new report warns that climate change is contributing to a rise in child marriages and teen pregnancies. Environmental shocks such as droughts, floods and crop failures push families deeper into poverty, leading some to marry off daughters early or pull them from school. The findings highlight how the climate crisis affects girls' rights and safety beyond its better-known environmental and economic impacts.

Why now: A newly published report connecting climate impacts to child marriage and teen pregnancy is drawing attention.
