A new study highlights a critical gap in early childhood interventions following extreme weather events, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, leaving young children vulnerable to distress and malnutrition.

• Researchers indicate a lack of adequate interventions for children aged 0-8, who are most affected by climate crises.
• Dr. Moses Omondi Abiero, an educator and advocate, is leading grassroots efforts in Siaya County, Kenya, to address this issue.
• His initiative focuses on promoting climate-resilient crops like cassava and engaging caregivers to improve household nutrition and child development, aiming to enhance academic performance.
