El Niño causes many places around the world to experience extreme weather events, including heavy rains, floods, cyclones and droughts. In the last six years, 43.1 million children became internally displaced due to extreme weather conditions. Today, one billion children live in climate zones classified as “extremely high-risk”: 160 million of them live in areas experiencing high levels of drought, and another 500 million children live in regions with frequent flooding. If the predictions about the severity of El Niño prove to be true, these children will be exposed to grave risks.
