One in five children -- some 466 million kids -- live in areas registering "at least double the number of extremely hot days every year" compared to 60 years ago , UNICEF says.

In Latin America , 48 million children are facing double number of 95-degree or higher days than in 60 years .

Children lose out from education when schools are forced to close due to high temperatures.

High temperatures contribute to child malnutrition and leave kids more vulnerable to disease, especially malaria and dengue.
