Abstract	Climate change exacerbates environmental health risks for children, who are particularly vulnerable due to their developing physiology and higher exposure rates. This review synthesizes current evidence on how air pollution, endocrine disruptors, and climate-related factors impact pediatric respiratory, neurodevelopmental, and nutritional outcomes. Drawing from epidemiological studies and global health data, it highlights increased risks of preterm birth, respiratory illnesses, cognitive impairments, and malnutrition linked to these exposures. Advocacy strategies, including policy interventions and community education, are discussed to mitigate these effects. The analysis underscores the need for targeted protections in low- and middle-income countries, where burdens are highest.
