Make schools heat-resilient with cool heads

Shade, water, and calm rooms before the next heatwave hits class

Munich partners (Münchener Rück Stiftung, Munich Science Communication Lab at LMU, and KLUG) host public evenings on hitzeresiliente Schulen: how classrooms stay healthy when temperatures spike. The pattern travels: map hot corridors, plant shade, open cool rooms, and involve parents and students in heat plans.

What you can do

• Watch for school heat evenings on the Hitzeaktionstag calendar
• Ask your Schulelternbeirat or facility manager for a cool-room protocol and drinking-water stations
• Pair with local Health for Future groups for clinic and school heat checklists

How it works

Education and health actors share evidence on learning under heat, then schools pilot shade, timetable shifts, and cool spaces. Residents bring lived classroom experience into municipal heat plans.

Why it matters

Children cannot wait for a distant climate target when July already melts concentration by noon.
