Climate Change Also Affects Educational Well-being. Implications for Higher Education
Abstract
The scenarios that occur in the educational context to improve educational well-being are new and require special attention, such as the conditions and environment in which learning occurs. In this sense, climate change must be taken into account and the conditions linked to increased temperatures are becoming more frequent, accompanied by a decrease in precipitation. In this study we have analyzed how these changes affect the University of Extremadura. To do this, we have carried out an analysis using the Martonne Aridity Index with a set of 10 combinations of global (GCM) and regional (RCM) climate models, under two representative concentration pathway scenarios RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5. and for a reference period (1971-2005) and three future periods (2006-2035, 2036-2065 and 2066-2095). The results obtained indicate that the region will be more vulnerable to climate change in the near future, and show that all university campuses will be affected by increased temperatures, and will be in semi-arid conditions by the end of the century, 2066- 2095. However, the Plasencia Campus will remain in the Mediterranean typology.
