Worried about extreme heat in schools?
We love our kids and want the best for them. As parents, their future is our priority.
But what happens when it’s too hot? You know, too hot to think. To move.
Too hot to learn. To write final exams.
Extreme heat events due to climate change are coming sooner and lasting longer in the school year, having serious health and cognitive impacts for our children and teens and the educators who support their learning. Without cooling and ventilation systems, shaded outdoor spaces or even windows that open, our kid’s health and learning are at risk.
We love our kids, and they deserve schools where they can learn, grow, and thrive - even as our climate changes. Let's take action together to make schools safer, healthier, and more resilient.
