‘Poor diet, climate change threats to children’

PARIS: The world is failing to protect children from the health dangers posed by climate change and poor diet, a landmark United Nations report said Wednesday, warning that every child is under “immediate threat.”

According to more than 40 of the world’s pre-eminent child and adolescent health experts, not one country on Earth is adequately protecting the next generation from the impacts of carbon emissions, the destruction of nature and high-calorie and processed foods.
