Kids to disrupt TV weather forecasts calling for urgent climate action

TV audiences are in for a surprise when they tune in for Thursday's weather reports - with children disrupting the usual forecast with a shocking bulletin from the year 2050.

These include a projected impact on 94 per cent of the world’s children, threats to food security and a potential rise in taxpayers’ bills globally of trillions of US dollars. UNDP Administrator, Achim Steiner, said: "The Weather Kids add a powerful voice to alert us to a future that will certainly materialise if we do not take meaningful climate action today.

Michelle Yeoh, actor and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, said: "Climate change isn't just a distant threat—it's a present-day reality that's devastating communities worldwide. From my experiences aiding earthquake relief efforts to witnessing the aftermath of natural disasters exacerbated by climate change, I've seen the urgent need for action.

"Our children will be our future weather reporters, climate journalists, emergency workers and medical professionals. Solutions already exist that can help us to cut emissions in more than half by 2030, but it’s time to act. Sign the pledge and take meaningful action."
