Beyond the headlines
Taking you beyond breaking news to what crisis really means for children — and how your support helps us reach them.
RIGHT NOW
The Met Office has issued Amber Extreme Heat Warnings across the UK - and for children in the world's most vulnerable places, conditions like these aren't temporary. They're year-round.
Why children are more at risk
Children heat up faster than adults. Their bodies absorb heat more quickly, sweat less efficiently, and dehydrate before they even notice — making them far more vulnerable in extreme temperatures.
For children already living through conflict, displacement or poverty, that risk multiplies. No shade. No clean water. No way to cool down.

What we're doing about it
We're getting ahead of the next crisis, not just responding to it. In Indonesia, solar-powered water systems mean children like Atika no longer miss school to fetch water. In Pakistan, we're building schools designed to stay cool in heatwaves. In Malawi, families are getting cash grants and climate-resilient farming training so they can cope when crops fail.
And at the International Court of Justice, we brought young activists — including Vepaiamele, 15 — to put children's voices in front of world leaders.
Your support makes this possible.
Vepaiamele, 15, takes part in a climate demonstration outside the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.
