Unlocking a sustainable future

The surprising link between girls' education and climate action

July 14, 2022

Here at HP, we're passionate about the power of education to shape a sustainable future, and we know that empowering girls is a game-changer. Research has shown that educating girls is not only about achieving social justice; it's also a surprisingly effective way to tackle climate change and protect our environment.
  
Girls who have access to education are more likely to join the workforce, earn higher incomes, and choose to marry and have children later in life. This often results in smaller, healthier families with the resources to invest in their children's education and well-being. In turn, this helps slow population growth, easing pressure on our planet's natural resources and reducing climate change impacts.
 
Educated girls grow up to be environmentally conscious adults. They're better prepared to grasp the complexities of climate change and more inclined to adopt eco-friendly practices, support green policies, and even drive clean technology innovations.
  
At HP, we're committed to making a difference by promoting education for girls as part of our wider sustainability initiatives. Through various programs and partnerships, our goal is to provide access to quality education, digital skills, and resources for millions of students around the globe. By investing in girls' education, we're not only fostering a fairer world but also building a greener future for everyone.
