Climate Crisis: Protecting Children's Future in Southern California
Climate change threatens the lives of children worldwide, with Southern California's young population experiencing unprecedented environmental risks. Children Beyond Borders recognizes that our local communities in Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and the San Fernando Valley sit at the frontline of this global crisis. Our research reveals that one billion children globally face extreme climate-related challenges that directly impact their ability to survive and thrive.
The warming trends affecting our region create complex challenges for children's health and development. From increased wildfire risks in the San Fernando Valley to rising sea levels threatening coastal communities like Venice Beach and Santa Monica, our children face unprecedented environmental pressures. These changes demand immediate, comprehensive action to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.

Local Impact: Climate Risks in West LA and Beyond
Children in West LA, Culver City, and surrounding areas experience unique climate vulnerabilities that require targeted interventions. Our data shows that children are disproportionately affected by extreme weather, pollution, and environmental disruptions. The world has warmed approximately 1.1°C since the 19th century, with 2015-2021 representing the warmest years on record.
