Abstract

Climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21st century. It is threatening all aspects of societal life. The right to education of children is negatively impacted by these climate-induced challenges. This chapter presents findings of a study on the effects of climate change on the education of the younger generation. The study used a mixed research design method and was done within Kisii Municipality, Kenya. The findings were that climate change and its effects have brought about increased waterborne diseases, reduced available income for families, and compromised living standards, thereby negatively impacting on children's education. To address the effects of climate change, however, provision of appropriate education can go a long way in mitigating these climatic challenges. Secondly, topics on climate change should be included in the school curriculum.
