A statewide coalition of nearly 50 experts -- including doctors, medical and environmental health researchers, educators, youth and community groups -- worked together to explore the challenges of climate change from the perspective of children's health and education. The insights and recommendations are published in this report. It is presented in four parts: (1) demonstrates how climate change is impacting children's physical health, mental health, and access to educational opportunity; (2) assesses schools' current capacity to operate safely and reliably, to safeguard students' health and wellbeing, and to develop students' climate literacy; and (3) lays out the authors' vision for climate-resilient and sustainable schools; and (4) propose a statewide Master Plan process, engaging key agencies and stakeholders, as an essential first step toward fully operationalizing the vision for climate-resilient and sustainable schools.
