Explanation:

1. Without the passage, we assume based on general knowledge of the economic benefits of education. Educating girls can lead to significant economic growth. An additional income of a large - scale amount like an additional US$2.4 trillion in income is a possible economic benefit of investing in girls' education in African countries.
2. Educating girls can strengthen climate strategies as it empowers them to make decisions about their bodies and family - planning. This can lead to more sustainable population growth and better - informed environmental choices.
