Assessing the impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities of extreme heat in learning environments of Puerto Rico in 2023
This assessment of extreme heat impacts in tropical learning environments reveals significant disparities in heat exposure and adaptation capacity across Puerto Rico's educational system. The findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions. This research contributes to the improvement of learning environments and serves as a model for adaptation efforts in educational settings in tropical islands.
