Schools across much of Asia are not equipped to deal with growing consequences of climate change.

BANGKOK – Record-breaking heat in April that prompted governments in Asia to close schools offers fresh evidence of how climate change is threatening the education of millions of children.

“The climate crisis is already a reality for children in East Asia and Pacific,” the UN children’s agency Unicef warned in 2023. “Not only are the temperatures higher, the duration of the high temperatures is much longer,” he told AFP. But closing schools comes with serious consequences, “particularly for children from poorer, vulnerable communities who do not have access to resources such as computers, internet and books”, said Ms Salwa Aleryani, Unicef’s health specialist for East Asia and the Pacific.
