A staggering 400 million students around the world have experienced school closures from extreme weather since 2022, according to a recent report by the World Bank. The report also shows that a 10-year-old child today will experience three times more floods, five times more droughts, and 36 times more heat waves over their lifetime compared to a 10-year-old back in 1970. Authors of the report emphasize that governments need to take urgent action in order to prevent major losses in the education of new generations.
