The threat to human health from climate change through malnutrition, disease and extreme weather conditions is substantial. Instead of being advocates for a greener planet, doctors are known to possess a large carbon footprint (CFP). Whether a trend towards a higher CFP is initiated during the formative medical student years is not known. This study aimed to estimate the CFP among medical students and to assess their knowledge and attitudes towards climate change. A descriptive,...

The study assesses the perceived impact of climate change on student teachers in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. Two research questions guided the study while two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised of all the students of 2020/2021 final year Degree students of Alex Ekwueme Federal University and NCE students of Enugu State College of Education (Technical)....

Bangladesh is one of the most affected countries by climate change and extremely vulnerable to environmental degradation. Young people, as the new generation, need to understand the consequences of climate change and its impact on their lives and the lives of their fellow citizens. This chapter presents the findings from a systematic evaluation of Bangladeshi school curriculum, and how it prepares the future generation for climate change adaptation and ensures a sustainable future for them....

Housing markets are known to be affected by adverse environments (i.e., environmental air pollution incidents affect Indian urban residents). Urban atmosphere quality has changed extensively with PM2.5 and O3 becoming the primary atmosphere indicators of concern because of dense cities in recent years. There is a correlation between the air pollution of Amaravati with the housing market model. When estimating the housing market, the chapter makes use of the extended regression model together...

The Himalayas are considered highly vulnerable to climate change, and hence making adaptation strategies for the area to cope with the effects of climate change is crucial. These strategies should be developed and implemented with grassroots participation at local to regional levels. For informed participation, the local inhabitants need to be conscious of climate change and its implications. Hence, we explored the level of awareness among school students and their participation in actions...

It is undoubtedly clear that climate change is happening, and its adverse impacts could reverse the progress made toward meeting sustainable development goals. The global crisis poses one of the most severe challenges to reducing poverty and existing inequalities, especially in developing countries that are projected to be highly vulnerable to climate variability. However, the education sector provides an untapped opportunity for successful climate change adaptation and mitigation through...

<b>Background</b> The global literature on the links between climate change and human health is large, increasing exponentially, and it is no longer feasible to collate and synthesise using traditional systematic evidence mapping approaches. We aimed to use machine learning methods to systematically synthesise an evidence base on climate change and human health. <br><b>Methods</b> We used supervised machine learning and other natural language processing methods (topic modelling and...

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...

International climate agreements say education can play a key role in responding to the global challenge of climate change. My team and I are currently carrying out research to help build a national picture of educational responses to climate change. Our research suggests that New Zealand’s educational policies and strategies currently provide a diffuse framework for responding to climate change, and there is a lack of coherent messaging “from the top” about what could or should be expected...

This study investigated theperception and awareness of climate change among adult learners on attendance and performance in literacy centres in Ondo State, Nigeria. Five research questions were generated for the study. The descriptive research design of the survey type was used for the study involving a population of adult learners in literacy centres in Ondo State, Nigeria. Purposive random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 100 participants drawn from the entire...
