On Children's Environmental Health Day, Climate Central and partners came together to discuss the impacts of climate change on children's health and education - and what's being done to build safer, healthier schools in the U.S. The panel of experts explored how climate hazards at school affect students' physical and mental well-being, learning experiences, and academic performance. They also engaged in discussion about the strategies and obstacles in building climate-resilient schools that safeguard children's health and support effective learning environments. The webinar provides media professionals with the resources they need for in-depth coverage of these critical issues affecting the youngest generations.
