Abstract
Malnutrition is the single biggest contributor of morbidity and mortality among children throughout the world.
In the recent times the problem of child malnutrition has been further exacerbated by climate change. Therefore an
attempt has been made to study the possible effects of climate change on child malnutrition. The study has been
carried out by collecting secondary data from different books, journals and internet. The present study revealed a
clear and alarming link between climate change and child malnutrition especially undernutrition.
Keywords: Climate change; Malnutrition; Children; Morbidity; Mortality.
