A plan to thermally renovate French schools to mitigate heatwave risks has suffered a setback. Originally announced in late June during a heatwave, the initiative promised nearly 60 million euros in funding. This funding, provided by the Banque des Territoires and the Actee program, aimed to equip schools with cooling solutions by summer 2027. However, the government has now reduced the allocated funds by 40 million euros. The cutback raises concerns about the speed and scope of improvements to protect students and staff from extreme temperatures. The plan focused on renovations within public schools managed by local authorities. This reduction in financial support casts doubt on meeting the initial goals for school cooling infrastructure.
