IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON EDUCATION IN INDIA

Abstract

Climate plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational landscape worldwide. Favorable climatic conditions invariably contribute to the enrichment of educational endeavors, whereas harsh or unfavorable conditions can impede the educational process. The financial burden of educational infrastructure escalates significantly in regions plagued by adverse climates. In certain parts of India, students are deprived of access to educational institutions due to the unforgiving climatic circumstances. The escalating phenomenon of climate change has brought about a surge in natural disasters such as cyclones, floods, droughts, heavy snowfall, and heatwaves. While occurrences like snowfall, cyclones, and rainfall are inherent aspects of nature, their heightened intensity can be attributed to climate change. It is imperative that we take decisive action to combat global warming, advocate for the use of recyclable materials, and prioritize extensive tree planting initiatives wherever feasible. To foster an enhanced educational environment, we must prioritize the preservation of nature; neglecting our environment will inevitably lead to our own neglect.
