This study examined and addressed climate change's effects on hydrological patterns, particularly in critical places like the Godavari River basin. This study used daily gridded rainfall and temperature datasets from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) for model training and testing, 70% and 30%, respectively. To anticipate future hydrological shifts, the study harnessed the EC-Earth3 data, presenting an innovative methodology tailored to the unique hydrological dynamics of the...

High ambient air temperatures in Africa pose significant health and behavioral challenges in populations with limited access to cooling adaptations. The built environment can exacerbate heat exposure, making passive home cooling adaptations a potential method for protecting occupants against indoor heat exposure.

This study explores the imperative need for decolonizing climate change adaptation strategies by focusing on Indigenous knowledge and perspectives. Focusing on the Munda Indigenous communities residing in the coastal areas of Bangladesh, the research offers critical insights into the intricate relationship between Indigenous wisdom and sustainable climate adaptation. By engaging with the Munda Indigenous people and their traditions, this study explores how traditional ecological knowledge...

The Tamil Nadu government actively supports farmer development through frequent training programs. These programs, incorporating both classroom sessions and field visits, are targeted towards farmer members of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and conducted at regular intervals. Recognizing the importance of understanding farmers' motivations and preferences, the training centers conducted a study involving 80 FPO farmer respondents from Coimbatore and Nilgiris districts. Using rank-based...

Abstract This paper explores teachers' conceptions of climate change knowledge, contributing to the growing body of work on the geographies of climate change. The paper focuses on the data generated through in‐depth semi‐structured interviews with a sample of 48 teachers in India to address the research question: What discourses about climate change knowledge are being constructed by teachers in India? We argue that teachers' lesson planning and searches for information are at the forefront...

Climate change anxiety refers to negative cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and functional responses to experiences of climate change and has implications on mental health. The current study sought to determine how climate change anxiety relates to cognitive-emotional and functional impairments as well as with experience of climate change and behavioural engagement in youths. The study surveyed 388 youths (aged 13-24 years) in high schools in Kwale County, Kenya. Data were analysed in...

This research explores climate change adaptation practices, strategies and policies implemented internationally that could be adopted to support the sustainable development of cities and towns across Australia. Adaptation strategies focus on reducing the impact of climate change effects while promoting sustainable development.Adaptation is framed as a shared responsibility between governments at all levels, businesses, communities and individuals. Within this overarching framework, each...

Churches can serve as platforms for environmental education, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment among their congregations.This study examined the influence of religious affiliation and attendance on climate change awareness, perception, action and perceived role of the church through environmental education in Nigeria. Churchgoers from Catholic, Anglican, and Pentecostal churches from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria completed the Climate Change Awareness...

Climate change is the greatest challenge of the 21st century. It is threatening all aspects of societal life. The right to education of children is negatively impacted by these climate-induced challenges. This chapter presents findings of a study on the effects of climate change on the education of the younger generation. The study used a mixed research design method and was done within Kisii Municipality, Kenya. The findings were that climate change and its effects have brought about...

The effects of climate change are a major global concern. In Kenya, the impact of climate change has been felt in perennial droughts which sometimes result into conflict as communities fight for pasture and water. In a bid to address climate change issues, Kenya has developed policies that focus on mitigation and adaptation measures borrowed from ideas outlined in global climate change strategies. One such strategy is the employment of education as a tool to create awareness on climate...

With the increasing incidence of power blackouts attributed to climate change, climate-resilient load forecasting is increasingly necessary to enable timely network reconfiguration during extreme weather events. This paper proposes a generalised multi-factor Deep Learning (DL) model to forecast electricity load in Distribution Networks (DNs) during extreme climate periods. We optimise factors that affect forecast accuracy, including input matrix structures, calendar effects, and...

This qualitative study aims to investigate the outlook of geography educators in Pakistan. It involves a group of around twelve participants, primarily aiming to understand their viewpoints regarding the goals of climate change education; it also explores how these viewpoints influence their teaching approaches, especially when dealing with contentious topics in geography education. The research delves into the complex educational landscape related to climate change education in Pakistan....

The farmer field school (FFS) has been promoted as an approach for educating farmers on making adaptive farming decisions. In Malawi, the FFS has been used to enhance food security within the context of adaptation to climate change. Monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) extends the learning cycle from the core of the FFS to the project level to facilitate learning and adaptation for improvement of interventions. This study’s objectives were to test the utility of a MEL framework for the...
