The tech giant has actually funded efforts to provide education for girls around the world since 2018, but it has now announced its move into a new area of research.

Malala Yousafzai said: "When we educate girls and when we empower them and when we give them the quality education that they need, it actually helps us to tackle climate change because when girls are educated, they have fewer children.

"They're more economically independent. They can fight against these difficulties that climate change brings. They're more resilient."

The study is set to be published in March and will focus on environmental protection within the curriculum for girls.

Meanwhile, Apple has redesigned its accessibility website to make it easier for users to learn about their features.

The new website is set around four areas - vision, mobility, hearing and cognition - with tips about the features in place on Apple's devices.

Apple Support is also releasing a collection of YouTube videos on its channel which will show users how to make the most of the company's newest accessibility updates.

The Magnifier Feature is designed to help people with low vision see items using their iPhones, while Back Tap aims to make it quick and easy to trigger actions or accessibility shortcuts by double or triple tapping the back of your own.
