Millions of Children Miss School Due to Climate-Related Disasters

Climate-related hazards have forced millions of children out of school in 2025, according to a recent report. In Papua New Guinea, 16-year-old Taudibura Garo's school is frequently shut down due to flooding, which causes the water to rise through the pit toilets, making the school unsafe. This is just one example of the devastating impact of climate change on education. In many parts of the world, children are missing out on their education due to natural disasters, leaving them vulnerable to a range of negative consequences. The United Nations has highlighted the need for urgent action to address this issue and ensure that all children have access to safe and quality education.
