According to the new report of the World Bank (World Bank) of the World Bank, since 2022, 400 million students across the world were deprived of education due to the climate change. Children in low-incoming countries were the most affected group from this situation with an average of 18 schools per year compared to 2.4 days in more rich countries. According to the report, a child under the age of 10 in 2024 will experience three times more floods, five times more drought and 36 times more hot air wave, compared to a child under 10 years old in 1970.

Teens are directly affected by the crisis]
Even when schools are open, children continue to deprive of education due to climate change. For example, in Brazil, students who live in 50 percent of local administrations may lose half-year training due to just warming. Mamta Murthi, Deputy President of the World Bank People, "Youngs are directly affected by this crisis and willing to move. However, educational systems do not offer information, skills and opportunities that they need in a world affected by climate. This is a missed opportunity for us to adapt to the climate crisis and to benefit from the power of education. "

Small investment can lead a long way][
Training is not only under the threat of climate change, but also largely ignored when it comes to climate financing. Previous research reveals that this vital finance only spent 1.5 percent of training. But new predictions in the World Bank report show that a relatively small amount of money can help schools adapt and minimize education losses. A one-time investment with an amount of 18.51 per student (630 TL) will help protect training from climate change by constructing resistance infrastructure and training teachers by improving class temperatures as well as other compliance measures.

Pek has very low cost step]
The World Bank Global Education Director Luis Benveniste said: "Universal news is that governments have very low-cost steps to take advantage of training and learning for climate action while adapting educational systems to climate change. Improvement of school infrastructure can contribute to a more livable planet, ensuring continuity in education and the use of students and teachers as effective representatives of positive change. "

The increasing demand from students to green skills]
] The demand for green skills in many low and medium-incoming countries leaves the supply largely behind. Students are eager to do something about climate crisis, but many say they lack the necessary knowledge and skills to move to action. When asked, about 65 percent of young people believe they are in danger if they do not develop green skills, but 60 percent of them say they have enough knowledge about climate change at school. Based on the data obtained from 96 countries, the report shows that every year’s climate awareness increases by 9 percent. 73 percent of students believe that they cannot find a green job without the skills of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The World Bank analysis shows that green skills in low and medium-income countries are demanded almost all levels. Surveys made as part of the report help these common legends be destroyed.
