0:20Now PlayingThe U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said Monday that the world is only beginning to see the devastating effects of climate change.
UNICEF says the IPCC report gives further credence to its findings that nearly every child will be affected by climate change in their lifetimes.
"Reducing emissions is the only long term solution. And at the same time, that will come too late for the generation of kids that are being born now," said Gautam Narasimhan, UNICEF Global Lead for Climate. "The best thing we can do for those children is to ensure that we're getting these basics right, that water and sanitation, health, education and ensuring that these services are resilient to climate impacts."
The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, based on hundreds of pages of scientific research and analysis, is one of the most important this decade.
In stark detail it lays out the impacts that climate change is having on the world right now, while also laying out likely problems in the future if global warming continues at the current pace.
Narasimhan acknowledged that if can be hard to mobilize public support on scientific research, and said that is why UNICEF wants the world to see climate change as a threat to this generation of children.
"If we care about kids, you really have to care about climate change," said Narasimhan.
