University students are very likely to experience temperature steps before class in hot summer. This study aims to investigate the overall effects of step changes on students’ subjective perception, physiological response and learning performance, so as to explore an optimal thermal condition for classrooms in hot summer. Four typical temperature step conditions (S6: 34 °C-28 °C, S8: 34 °C-26 °C, S10: 34 °C24 °C, S12: 34 °C–22 °C) were developed to conduct experiments on sixteen...

Countries in the developing world are increasingly vulnerable to climate change effects and have a lesser capacity to adapt. Consideration can be given to their indigenous knowledge systems for an integrated approach to education, one which is more holistic and applicable to their context. This paper presents a systematic review of the indigenous knowledge systems (IKSs) deployed for climate change adaptation in the developing world and advances implications for climate change education. A...

More than half of the global population lives in cities, thus forcing cities to expand in order to accommodate the huge populations. Unfortunately, this urban growth has been suggested as a major cause for the majority of harmful emissions that pose a big threat to resources and the environment. With this in mind, it is important for cities to “grow” smartly, ensuring that city growth does not come in the way of the livelihood and well-being of the future generations. The city of Oslo,...

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...
