The US ranks lower than 38 other countries on measurements of children's wellbeing, and every country in the world has levels of excess carbon emissions that will prevent younger generations from a healthy and sustainable future, a new report says.
The United States ranks lower than 38 other countries on measurements of children's survival, health, education and nutrition -- and every country in the world has levels of excess carbon emissions that will prevent younger generations from a healthy and sustainable future, according to a new report.
The report, published in the medical journal The Lancet on Tuesday, ranked 180 countries based on a"child flourishing index" and the United States came in at No. 39.Countries also were ranked by levels of excess carbon emissions -- specifically researchers took a close look at estimated levels for 2030. Based on that data, the United States ranked No. 173 for sustainability, according to the report.
"This report shows that the world's decision makers are, too often, failing today's children and youth: failing to protect their health, failing to protect their rights, and failing to protect their planet," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a written statement about the release of the report.
