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.
