One Billion Children Are At "Extremely High Risk" From Climate Change.

That's according to a UNICEF report.

A report suggests one billion children are living in one of the 33 countries considered 'extremely high-risk' from climate change.

That's nearly half of the world's population of youngsters.

Unicef also found that two billion are exposed to high levels of air pollution - with the UK currently ranking 17th for CO2 emissions.

Teen activist Greta Thunberg says it's a 'lie' to suggest Britain's a world leader in tackling the problem

Nkosi from Zimbabwe, Mitzi from the Philippines, Tahsin from Bangladesh and @GretaThunberg from Sweden are calling for urgent climate action.

In their words, what the world is doing is not enough. The climate crisis is a child rights crisis. pic.twitter.com/l32wRocVZM
