🌍📚 Celebrating International Education Day with Exciting News!

Just a few days ago, the @oecd-ocde.bsky.social released their latest Trends Shaping Education 2025 report. Among many critical trends, the report delves into the profound effects of climate change and the green transition on education.

One striking insight from the report is the rising need for schools to become more resilient to extreme weather events. Globally, the share of people experiencing at least two weeks of hot days annually has increased from 24% in 1979 to 46% in 2022.

In Madrid, between 2019 and 2023, residents experienced an average of 23.2 days per year with temperatures exceeding 35°C. Yet, while extreme heat is addressed, one equally pressing issue—air pollution—often flies under the radar.

🌬️ Air pollution is a growing concern globally, affecting not just health but also how we learn. In 2022, Madrid recorded a PM2.5 concentration of 9.3 µg/m³, which surpasses WHO’s air quality guidelines.

Despite this, policies addressing poor air quality in schools remain limited, even as research shows its tangible impact on human capital formation.

💡 My recent work with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social, published today (what better timing than International Education Day?), explores the relationship between low-emission zones (LEZs) and academic performance. Our findings?

Implementing LEZs not only improves air quality but also significantly boosts the academic performance of students living in and around these zones.

This effect, though modest, is meaningful—especially for students striving to access competitive schools or degrees.
