 The report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) outlines the health impact of global climate change on children. Because children are often the most vulnerable to adverse health effects from environmental hazards, the potential impact of climate change is a serious issue. Particularly in Arizona our children may be exposed to extreme weather events, climate-sensitive infectious diseases, an increase in air pollution-related illness and, within the many highly populated portions of the state, more heat-related illnesses that could be potentially fatal.
