Abstract: This paper aims to examine the significant effects of global climate change on quality education, particularly focusing on how environmental disruptions exacerbate educational inequalities in vulnerable communities. The study employs Social Vulnerability Theory to analyze how factors such as socioeconomic status, gender, and geography shape the experiences of marginalized groups. It advocates for the integration of climate change education into existing curricula through interdisciplinary and project-based learning, and emphasizes the need for improved teacher training and community engagement. The findings reveal critical gaps in the literature regarding the impact of climate change on education. They highlight the challenges posed by school closures, infrastructure damage, economic difficulties, health issues, and unequal access to resources, all of which hinder educational opportunities for vulnerable populations. The paper stresses the necessity for targeted policies that promote educational equity. This research contributes to the understanding of educational disparities caused by climate change and underscores the importance of technology and partnerships with local organizations in building resilience within educational systems. It advocates for strategies that empower educators to effectively address climate-related challenges, ensuring that all students, particularly the most vulnerable, have access to quality education amidst climate uncertainties.
