🌦️El Niño: what it means for children and how to prepare
What is El Niño?
El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon that occurs every few years in which the waters of the Pacific Ocean become unusually warm, changing rainfall, temperatures and extreme weather around the world. These changes can alter weather patterns around the world, affecting rainfall, temperatures, and storm activity.
El Niño can bring severe droughts in some areas and heavy rains and flooding in others, disrupting agriculture, water supplies, and essential services that children, their families and communities depend on.
Why is it important to prepare?
Preparing for El Niño helps communities reduce risks before disasters occur. Droughts, floods, hurricanes, and other climate-related hazards can threaten children's access to safe water, nutritious food, healthcare, education, and protection services.
Early action and preparedness are critical to reducing the impact of El Niño and strengthening children's resilience to increasingly frequent and severe climate risks.
