Story highlights Malawi’s schools face increasing threats from floods, cyclones and other climate-related disasters that disrupt learning. Safety drills at pilot schools teach students life-saving skills while strengthening community preparedness. The Climate Smart Education Systems Initiative is building a more resilient education system that links national policy to local action.

Le changement climatique remodèle la manière dont les systèmes éducatifs planifient, budgétisent et assurent l’apprentissage. Les inondations, les sécheresses, les tempêtes et les vagues de chaleur perturbent la scolarité, endommagent les infrastructures et compromettent le bien‑être des élèves et des enseignants.

Climate change is reshaping how education systems plan, budget and deliver learning. Floods, droughts, storms and heatwaves disrupt schooling, damage infrastructure and undermine student and teacher well‑being. At the same time, education is a powerful lever for adaptation and resilience when climate risks are systematically addressed across the planning, policy and budgeting cycle.
