Service Description: Climate change increases the intensity and frequency of heatwaves, as well as the duration of heatwave period. The probability of high temperatures occurring outside the school holidays increases in Europe.
High temperatures negatively affect children’s well-being and their ability to concentrate. Extremely high temperatures may necessitate school closures. According to UNICEF, over 900,000 pupils in Europe had their education disrupted by heatwaves in 2024.
Currently, around 16,000 schools (5%) in Europe already experience days with maximum temperatures above 30°C during the school year. By 2050, approximately 31,500 schools (9%) are projected to experience at least one hot day above 30°C during the school year under a high-warming scenario. In a longer perspective, by 2100, about 25% of all European schools will experience days above 30°C during the school year; over 13,300 schools (4%) will experience at least one day above 35°C during a school year under a high-warming scenario.
