In 2024, at least 242 million students across the world faced disruption in their schooling as a result of extreme climate events such as heatwaves, cyclones, floods, and droughts, according to a new UNICEF report.

This news comes as the World Meteorological Organization confirmed 2024 to be the warmest year in recorded history, with the past ten years all ranking in the top ten. The past year also saw unprecedented natural disasters and extreme weather events, impacting every continent on the globe and, in turn, many children’s education.
