Bhutan is increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change, with rising temperature variability, changing weather patterns, and growing pressure on natural resources affecting children’s learning environments. Many schools, particularly in remote areas, rely heavily on fuelwood for cooking and heating, contributing to deforestation and indoor air pollution. At the same time, frequent power outages and inefficient energy systems disrupt teaching and learning, limit access to digital education, and compromise safety. School infrastructure is often not climate resilient. Poor insulation, lack of heating or cooling, and inadequate lighting affect student comfort, concentration, and performance, while weak waste management systems pose environmental and health risks.
