Climate Change and Academic Performance

Abstract

Climate change increasingly affects students' school performance, as extreme weather conditions like floods and storms disrupt studies and lead to school closures,causing learning interruptions and affecting student attendance. High temperatures also impact students' concentration in classrooms, leading to fatigue and distraction, which reduces their academic achievement. Additionally, challenging climate conditions increase weather-related illnesses, such as respiratory diseases, resulting in higher absenteeism rates. These challenges require a response from the educational system to ensure continuity of learning, such as improving school infrastructure and adopting remote learning strategies.
