1. Climate change is likely to exacerbate major health concerns in children, leading to respiratory problems, heat stress and malnutrition. As per the Indian law, it is essential for policy makers and stakeholders to prioritize measures that safeguard children from the adverse effects of climate change.2. In India, many children are heavily dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. Climate change is expected to negatively impact crop yields which will affect both food security and livelihood opportunities for these vulnerable communities.3. The increasing severity of natural disasters such as floods and droughts brought about by climate change can disrupt education access as well as increase the risk of child labor and child trafficking due to displacement or family separation caused by these events.4. Children living in areas prone to extreme weather conditions may face social isolation resulting from school closures or quarantine during pandemics like COVID-19; ensuring adequate measures are written into the laws applicable not only help identify those affected but also enable appropriate mitigation strategies including developing public awareness campaigns targeted at promoting sustainable behavior amongst citizens particularly parents who can become key advocates for climate action planning on behalf of their children's future welfare.

Climate change is a global phenomenon that affects every living being on this planet, including children. The impact of climate change on the environment and human health has been well documented by various scientific studies. In India, climate change poses a serious threat to public health, particularly vulnerable groups like children.

The poor air quality resulting from increasing carbon emissions, longer allergy seasons and extreme heat brought about by climate change is a major concern for children's health in India. Children are more susceptible to respiratory diseases due to their developing immune systems and smaller airways. As temperatures rise due to climate change, wildfires become more common which exacerbates smoke in the air and fire-related air pollution - creating risks for asthmatic children.

One significant effect of global warming is the increase in insects that carry infectious diseases such as mosquitoes and ticks. As temperatures rise across the country due to warmer conditions created by climate change, new cases of pediatric asthma may also arise according to researchers from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In addition, thousands of families could become homeless temporarily or permanently due to coastal flooding caused by rising sea levels as a result of global warming — exposing them further not just physical risk but psychological trauma too. For these reasons among others it must be our priority as legal practitioners responsible for safeguarding public interests is firstly: making people aware of these critical issues threatening their well-being; secondly: recommending measures they can take in order mitigate against impact upon such issues. 

In conclusion, climate change is an issue that should be taken seriously because its effects on public health are enormous especially regarding children who are more vulnerable due their underdeveloped immune system compared with adults.  Legal professionals play an important role towards safeguarding environmental rights, a prominent part of which concerns conducting awareness campaigns about how combating climate-related threats not only safeguards present generations' wellbeing but also ensures forthcoming ones live in a sustainable environment free from harm.
