CHILD SURVIVAL
Climate changes represents one of the biggest challenges humanity
faces now and in the coming years.
Global warming, ice melting, the frequency of droughts and floods are
all symptoms of ongoing changes.
There are huge risks for the planet and for future generations, and we
should sit up and pay attention.
These changes put175 million children at risk every year, an increase of
40% comparated to 10 years ago.
Global warming has repercussionos on the day-to-day lives of the
world’s population.
Rising sea levels and desertification are causing increased poverty in
aagricultural communities.
Although climate change is a global phenomenon, the effects of global
warming mainly concern underdeveloped nations, and particularly
children, as seen by the ever-increasing mortality rate.
Take one example: malaria.
Every year the disease kills about 800.000 children under 5.
This number will of course increase as whole areas see a rise in
temperatures.
Climate change will also create more malnutrition, with figures of up
to 25 million undernourished children by the year 2050, according to
studies by UNICEF.
The correlation between climate change and social, economic and
political problems will probably force children to become eco-refugees,
separated from their families and exposed to exploitation.
The frequency of droughts, floods, and cyclones, progressive soil
degradation, population growth, unstable social and political
institutions, poverty and agriculture dependence, all these factors can
contribute to new migration flows.
The “Child Survival in a Changing Climate” project, aims to show the
consequences of climate change on the environment and people’s
lives, with a special focus on children, by means of a photo essay and a
multimedia presentation.
The “Child Survival in a Changing Climate” project is funded by the
Nando Peretti Foundation and was realized between September 2010
and October 2011.
This project was awarded:
- Runner-up, Luis Valtueña 15th International Humanitarian
Photography Award, Spain
- Gold winner of the Nature and Environment category, The 3rd Asia
Press Photo contest, China.
- 2nd Place Environment Picture Story, The Best of Journalism 2012,
USA.
- The Asia winner of the Global Wind Day photo competition, Belgium.

Bengala Bay is the area most affected by climate change: its annual cyclones, floods
and monsoons cause the destruction of harvests and of entire villages.
This it turn has a major impact on population migration., with annual transfers
from rural to urban zones that bring with them their own new problems, not least
in the rapid expansion of slums.
Improving urban environmental management is therefore clearly of critical
importance.
Climate change is expected to affect the movement of people in four ways:
- The intensification of natural disasters, floods, cyclones and river erosion.
- Global warming, climate variability and other effects of climate change for
livelihoods, public health, food security and water availability.
- Rising sea levels, making coastal areas uninhabitable.
- Competition over scarce natural resources potentially leading to growing
tension and even conflicts and, in turn, could ead to displacement.
The decision to migrate is often prompted by a desire to replenish asset
values damaged by floods.
In addition to normal patterns of flooding within Bangladesh, sediment in rivers
due to reduced sediment deposits on flood plains protected by embankments
has become a problem.
It is believed that climate change could further exacerbate this issue by bringing
further changes in sedimentation and river flow, increased monsoon rainfalls
and retarded discharge of rivers due to the rise of sea levels.
Coastal erosion is expected to be aggravate primarily by rising sea-levels, but
also by changes to river flow and other hydrological dynamics.
A one metre rise in sea levels would cause Bangladesh a loss of around 17.5%
of its landmass in this century alone.

Increasing temperatures are causing the retreat of glaciers in Himalayas, resulting
in a worrying rise in water levels.
The damage would seriously affect the Nepalese economy.
The current risk of the dam’s failure is rated as increasingly high.
Lake Tsho Rolpa, the largest and most dangerous glacial lake in Nepal is located in
the Rolwaling Valley approximately 30 km southwest of Mt. Everest.
It has been forming over the last forty years as Trakarding Glacier stagnates, melts
and retreats.
While engineers try to find a way to lower the water levels, Lake Tsho Rolpa
is monitored by sensors and alarms that are connected to those villages in
danger.
The lake, which is at an elevation of 4.580 metres, is approximately 3 km long, 0.5
km wide and up to 130 mt deep.
It is retained by a natural moraine dam that is unstable and threatens to burst.
If the dam is breached, the resulting flood of approximately 80 million cubic
metres of water would cause serious damage for 100 km or more downstream,
threatening as many as 6.000 lives, long with the construction site of a 60 MegaWatt
hydroelectric project and other infrastructures.
However any alarm would only provide up to 10 minutes advanced warning,
which is far too short for any evacuation to take place.
It is no surprise , therefore, that whole farming communities in the Rolwaling
Valley are therefore seriously worried about theirtheir family’s future.
Yet their livelihood depends on their potato crops and livestock, which ties
them to the location.

Mongolia, although used to extreme conditions, is in the grip of a devastating
climate change.
It rains less and less, rivers are drying out, and in the last few years, records show
harsh winters followed by long periods of drought.
Thousands of Mongolian shepherds are therefore migrating to the capital
city Ulan-Bator, whose outskirts are now a slum of tents sheltering climate
refugees, in flight from the hostile desert and steppes, living in unsanitary
conditions, with no access to clean water or toilet facilities.
The phenomenon of desertification due to temperature increases has meant the
notable expansion of the Gobi desert.
The nomadic population, who depend on their herds, are finding the lack of
grasslands is now causing the death of millions of livestock, has meant not only a
loss of income and work, but also the basic means for survival.

The development of wind power in India began in the 1990s and has made
significantly progress in the last few years.
It covers 50 km2 and has 650 rotor blades.
India has the fifth-largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
Each rotor blade produces 1.25 MW of electricity per hour, enough for 400
houses.
Indian companies export wind turbines and turbine blades to Europe, the U.S,
Australia, China and Brazil.
Suzlon’s rotor blade manufacture facility produces 7 rotor blades a day that
are exported to othe parts of Asia.
Some foreign companies with subsidiaries in India are sourcing more than 80 % of
their components from Indian component manufacturers.
This farm produces enough clean electricity to eliminate the production of
approximately 70.000 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
Suzlon is a leader in the Indian wind energy industry.
Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel
power sources.
This wind farm is situated at Dhule in Maharashtra, 200 miles away from Mumbai,
it is the biggest wind farm in Asia.

Sahel is a region that lies between the Sahara desert and the more fertile areas of
the Black Africa, a long semi-desert strip stretching from the Atlantic to the Red
Sea.
At this time, it is one of the regions that is most affected by the problem of
desertification, which should not be seen only as an ecological problem but
also a social one.
Sahel has the second largest population growth rate in the world.
According to the United Nations, it is estimated that the Sahel population will
exceed 93 million inhabitants in 2050.
It has been the cause of internal unrest, increased migration, and it is now
estimated that fifty million people are at risk.
Climate change continues to significantly affect on this area, causing causing a
reduction in agricultural activity, a change in river and watercourse flow with
increased silt, intensifield desertification and mass movement of climate refugees.

Somalia is the country in the Horn of Africa most threatened by famine.
A twenty-year war and the worse drought of the last sixty years have caused the
most severe humanitarian crisis in the world today.
Nearly 2.85 million people urgently need humanitarian aid.
Last July 20th the UN declared regions of South Somalia, to be in the grip of
famine ( the highest level of food emergency).
Thousands of Somalis are heading to the Dadaab camp, the largest refugee camp
in the world, located in the north of Kenya, a few kilometers from the border
with Somalia.
This facility was built to host 9 thousand people, but today over 380 thousand
individuals live there, with new refugees continuously arriving after traveling for
days, in the search of shelter and food.
Hope lies buried there, in the shanties built by the desperation of those in
flight from the famine that has hit millions of people in the Horn of Africa.
However, getting to Dadaab is not guarantee of survival, especially for children
that are malnourished, unhealthy and vulnerable.
In the refugee camps of Dadaab, an average 5 children die every day in this
period of emergency.
Global warming, drought and the subsequent desertification are the decisive
factors that determine the migration of millions of eco-refugees all over the
world.
According to “The Environment and Human Security”, environmental refugees
amount to nearly 50 million, and this this figure could well rise to 150 million
by 2050.

Dadaab: a hope for climate refugees
10
A long silent queue: nobody smiles, no one speaks to anyone else, no one pushes
ahead.
Dadaab presently shelters more than 380.000 refugees; it is also calculated
that over 40.000 people live outside of the perimeter of the camp, outside of
the jurisdiction and the control of the United Nations.
Every day, a thousand new Somalis refugees, cross the border into Kenya, walk
for additional 80 kilometers, in oder to queue in front of the UNHCR Registration
site of Dadaab.
In the U.N. designated area, each and every single refugee is photographed and
fingerprinted.
Registration here is a miraculous achievement: it means tents, lavatories, drinking
water, healthcare facilities and food passes.

Malaria is a disease that respords directly to climate change.
Increased rainfall, temperatures and humidity levels favour the favor the mosquito
population and the ensuing transmission of the disease.
Malaria is the main cause of mortality in Zambia, with nearly 4.3 million cases and
50 thousand deaths every year.
The “Mtendere Mission Hospital” in Chirundu, in southern Zambia, one the
borders with Zimbabwe, plays a fundamental role in the treatment of this
terrible disease.
It serves the Chirundu district, an area of nearly 150km and home to about
60.000 inhabitants, as well as patients from other iving healthcare districts and
the capital city Lusaka.
It accounts for one fourth of all child deaths and about 50% of children affected
by malaria are hospitalized.
The typical symptoms, which appear only a few days after contagion, include fever,
nausea, headache and joint pain.
Children under 5 can die in less than 24 hours.
