1 billion children live in countries facing the highest climate risks
By 2050, every child will be affected by extreme heat events.
Climate-driven school closures are on the rise, undermining children’s education.
Malnutrition and disease linked to climate change are already damaging children’s health.
7X as many heat waves
2X as many wildfires
3X as many droughts,
77% of children are more concerned about climate change than anything else
In 2024,
At least 242 million students in
85 countries had schooling disrupted by extreme climate events.
Heatwaves were the most significant climate hazard worldwide to disrupt schooling.
South Asia was the most affected region with 128 million students affected by climate-related school disruptions.
Children are facing the brunt of climate change that they have no hand in creating, making this a climate justice issue.

We work globally with education institutions, development organisations, governments and businesses to make climate action a reality through our expert services.
