"In the 2015 policy statement, the AAP states that:
- There is wide consensus among scientific organizations and climatologists that the broad effects known commonly as "climate change" are the result of contemporary human activities.
- According to the World Health Organization, more than 88 percent of the existing burden of disease attributable to climate change occurs in children younger than 5 years old.
- Climate change poses a threat to human health and safety, but children are uniquely vulnerable.
- Failure to take prompt, substantive action would be an act of injustice to all children."
