The study reported here focuses on integrating climate change issues in School curriculum in The Gambia. The objectives are to determine the extent to which climate-related themes presently feature in the Upper Basic (lower secondary) schools of The Gambia; propose an integration plan for enhanced climate themes in the school curriculum; and identify suitable teaching methods for conveying climate change information to students. A curriculum audit of two subject areas in the Upper Basic...

Abstract The introduction of climate change studies in universities has a fundamental role in helping the general public, especially the next generations, to recognize the global challenges of climate change and to find ways of adapting to the changing climate. This study examined the level of climate change education and perception of Nigerian university graduates. A mixed method approach was used to obtain data relating to perceptions, understanding, and level at which climate change has...

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in buildings can assist in reducing energy consumption through enhanced control, automation, and reliability. This review aims to explore the use of AI to enhance energy efficiency throughout various stages of the building lifecycle, including building design, construction, operation and control, maintenance, and retrofit. The review encompasses multiple studies in the field published between 2018 and 2023. These studies were identified...

The study investigated attitudes toward climate change among 480 pre-service science, technology, and mathematics (STM) teachers from four higher institutions of learning in Southwest, Nigeria using the quantitative research method within the blueprint of the descriptive survey design. Data collected using climate change attitude survey were analysed using the descriptive statistics of percentages, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics of factor analysis and independent...

The study examined the training needs on climate change adaptation measures in crop and livestock production among field extension workers in the Southeast agro-ecological zone of Nigeria. Specifically, the study identified trainings on climate change adaptation in crop and livestock production received by field extension staff, training needs on climate change adaptation on livestock and crop production among the workers and the constraints faced by the workers in disseminating climate...

Heat stress-related illness attributed to the changing climate, particularly the more frequent extreme high temperatures, is becoming a theme of public concern, especially in the most vulnerable regions, such as the African continent. Knowledge of the existing research directions and gaps on heat stress and human health is vital for informing future strategic research foci capable of influencing policy development, planning, adaptation, and mitigation efforts. In this regard, a bibliometric...
