UNICEF: Girls' education more affected by climate change
UNICEF emphasizes that climate change makes girls more vulnerable to dropping out of school due to the effects of extreme weather events such as wildfires, storms, and floods, which damage schools and cancel classes. Last year alone, over 171 million students in 106 countries were affected, with a significant impact on children in low- and middle-income countries. These conditions have also led to increased instances of early marriage and persistent poverty. UNICEF has recommended investing more in the construction of climate-resilient educational facilities to reduce the impact on educational opportunities, warning that loss of educational prospects could result in lifelong economic losses of up to $200 billion.
