Examining air conditioning as a necessity in the face of climate change, @washingtonpost cites a study on the negative impact of heat on learning coauthored by #PennSP2’s @rjisungpark. It shows U.S. students learning 10% less each year on average by 2050.

@PennSP2 Proud to be part of this effort. Using data & real time info, we can help policy makers & leaders make better decisions in helping economically challenged individuals improve their lives & escape the grip of poverty. Poverty is stopping us from reaching our true potential! #PEEP

Extreme heat is detrimental to learning — and research coauthored by #PennSP2's @rjisungpark estimates that air conditioning in schools could prevent PSAT score gaps of up to 7 percent and $1,060 in future earnings loss per student. #ClimateWeekatPenn
