Balgarianovinite.com Children in Bulgaria are exposed to climate risks such as heatwaves, floods, and air pollution, said UNICEF Representative to Bulgaria Christina de Bruin.
A report by UNICEF shows that children in Bulgaria are particularly vulnerable to these risks. De Bruin made the statement on Tuesday during an event focused on children’s rights and their participation in climate and environmental decision-making, organized by the BlueLink Foundation under the Enrich project.
De Bruin explained that the most vulnerable are children living in poverty or in disadvantaged conditions, as they have a reduced capacity to cope with these challenges. She emphasized that, despite the risks, Bulgaria has the potential to address climate challenges and noted some progress in the country.
The UNICEF representative also stressed that children and youth in Bulgaria are highly motivated, active, and ready to take action on climate issues. “It is important to give them real opportunities to participate and be heard,” she said.
Boyan Zaharieiv, presenting findings from the UNICEF report, highlighted that increasing heatwaves, droughts, floods, forest fires, and landslides are among the extreme events affecting Bulgaria. He noted that the link to climate change is particularly clear in floods and forest fires. Respiratory illnesses and allergies also remain a significant concern affecting children in the country.
