Abstract	Climate change and the pandemic have brought new attention to the dire conditions of the nation's schools and schools' lack of preparedness for both, especially to the terrible state of ventilation and indoor air quality. There are renewed calls at all levels for clean air and water, better ventilation and sanitation, and improved oversight of the nation's K-12 schools. Also laid bare is the inequitable impact of the COVID and climate disasters: Black, Latinx, and Native American children are suffering disproportionately because the poorest schools are already in the worst condition and have the fewest resources to adapt or to recover. In January 2021, Healthy Schools Network hosted "COVID, Climate, Children, and Schools," a facilitated national summit. Over two afternoons, more than 120 individuals heard from experts and considered new strategies and actions on the twin crises of COVID-19 and climate mitigation and resiliency in schools and the disproportional impacts on Black, Indigenous, and Latinx children. As the summit revealed, the two crises are intimately linked, especially as they impact the most vulnerable. Participants came from 25 states plus Washington, DC; they included representatives of federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Department of Education, and 65 other organizations. [Additional sponsors of the summit include: New Jersey Education Association, Perkins Eastman, Perkins & Will, and Green Seal.] (ERIC).
