Key findings: Climate change is already damaging the health of the world’s children and is set to shape the well-being of an entire generation, unless the world meets the target to limit warming to well below 2˚C. As temperatures rise,  infants will bear the greatest burden of malnutrition and rising food prices  — average yield potential of maize and rice has declined almost 2% in India since the 1960s, with malnutrition already responsible for two-thirds of under-5 deaths.  Also, children will suffer most from  the rise in infectious diseases —  with climatic suitability for the Vibrio bacteria that cause cholera rising 3% a year in India since the early 1980s. With its huge population and high rates of healthcare inequality, poverty and malnutrition,  few countries are likely to suffer from the health effects of climate change as much as India. Diarrhoeal infections,  a major cause of child mortality, will spread into new areas, whilst deadly heatwaves, similar to the one i

It is in accordance with the principle of “co

What is Global Hunger Index? The report  is a peer-reviewed publication released annually by Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide. The GHI  scores are based on a formula that captures three dimensions of hunger—insufficient caloric intake, child undernutrition, and child mortality—using four component indicators: UNDERNOURISHMENT : the share of the population that is under-nourished, reflecting insufficient caloric intake CHILD WASTING : the share of children under the age of five who are wasted (low weight-for-height), reflecting acute undernutrition. CHILD STUNTING : the share of children under the age of five who are stunted (low height-for-age), reflecting chronic undernutrition. CHILD MORTALITY : the mortality rate of children under the age of five. India and it’s neighbours: India  ranked 102  on the index among 117 qualifying countries with a score of 30.3. Even North Korea, Niger, Cameroon fared better than India. Neighboring countries too bagged better spo
