Over 400 million children in the Asia-Pacific region are at extreme risk from flooding, and 70% of people exposed to flooding globally are in South and East Asia. As flooding risks escalate due to climate change, land subsidence, and coastal development, it is critical to address the impact of floods on early childhood development. The recent Flooding Advocacy Brief by ARNEC and Vital Strategies sheds light on these issues and provides actionable insights. Download the advocacy brief here.
