"Nineteen million children are directly affected by climate change. We're talking here about river erosions and river flooding. Thousands of children end up in big cities because they become migrant children. They have to leave areas because their parents have nothing else to live on. They have to end up in big cities where they become vulnerable, they become vulnerable because they have no more education. They have to work into risky areas. For a girl, it becomes an issue of (becoming a) child bride. They become sex workers sometimes. It's a big issue for children."

STORYLINE:
The lives and futures of more than 19 million Bangladeshi children are at risk from the colossal impact of devastating floods, cyclones and other environmental disasters linked to climate change, according to a report by the United Nations children's agency released Friday.
The UNICEF report said the estimate includes hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugee children from Myanmar who are living in squalid camps in Bangladesh's coastal district of Cox's Bazar.
The report says that because of the impact of climate, families across Bangladesh, a low-lying delta nation crisscrossed by more than 130 rivers, have migrated to big cities from villages after losing their livelihoods to increasing salinity in arable land, flooding, or river bank erosion.
It documents children being forced into sex trafficking or marriage to survive.
"Thousands of children end up in big cities because they become migrant children. They have to leave areas because their parents have nothing else to live on. They have to end up in big cities where they become vulnerable," said UNICEF's Dhaka spokesman, Jean Jacques Simon.
"They have to work into risky areas. For a girl, it becomes an issue of (becoming a) child bride. They become sex workers sometimes. It's a big issue for children."
Another 4.5 million children live in vast coastal areas regularly struck by powerful cyclones, including almost half a million Rohingya refugee children living in fragile bamboo and plastic shelters, according to the report.
Bangladesh's 6 million climate refugees could more than double by 2050, according to the report.
Bangladesh, a nation of 160 million people, has a history of violent cyclones and floods, with a mega cyclone in 1970 killing about 300,000 people in the southern region of what was then east Pakistan.
Storm surges have continued to inundate vast areas across the coast, destroying homes and pushing saline water inland, though the loss of life has decreased sharply.
