NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On the sidelines of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai, the Government of Denmark announced today DKK45 million (approximately US$6.5 million) in additional funding to Education Cannot Wait (ECW) to scale-up access to quality educational opportunities for girls and boys living on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Key Points:

New data published by ECW reveals that approximately 62 million crisis-impacted children and adolescents have been impacted by climate hazards over the past three years.
Recent floods in Pakistan and Libya wiped out tens of thousands of schools, pushed children from their homes, and disrupted access to continuous education.
Unfortunately, we see that climate change has devastating consequences for children's access to education, especially in countries that are already poor and vulnerable.
That is why we urgently have to counter the threat of climate change to children's education and ensure that they get an education that strengthens their resilience," said Jørgensen.
