About

This report describes how climate change affects children's health and education in California. It highlights the need for schools to be safe from heat, wildfires, and poor air quality. The report suggests upgrading school buildings with better energy systems and green spaces. It also emphasizes teaching students about climate change to prepare them for future jobs. The authors call for a statewide plan to make schools more resilient and sustainable by 2045, which will require significant investment but can create many new jobs in the process.
