UNICEF – Climate Change in Education, March 2024

Climate shocks disrupt children’s education setting their learning further back. The climate crisis is robbing children of their ability to gain the foundational and green skills they need to adapt and prepare for future climate events. Women and girls in climate hotspots disproportionally suffer the effects of extreme and unpredictable weather, pushing more girls out of school and threatening their mental health, food security and livelihoods – and placing them at greater risk of child marriage, violence and exploitation. In this Investment Case, learn how you can support urgent action that can make education systems climate resilient and to engage children and youth in meaningful climate action.
