India

One important manifestation of climate change has been rising susceptibility to flooding in many heavily-populated places, including in India. India is home to the world’s largest number of school-aged children, the majority of whom live in rural areas in which floods may adversely affect education by hindering transportation to schools, damaging school infrastructure, and disrupting local activities. Current projects in India investigate heterogeneous immediate and persistent effects of floods on schools, teachers, and children’s education and learning in rural communities.
