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...

Climatic data archives, including grid-based remote-sensing and general circulation model (GCM) data, are used to identify future climate change trends. The performances of climate models vary in regions with spatio-temporal climatic heterogeneities because of uncertainties in model equations, anthropogenic forcing or climate variability. Hence, GCMs should be selected from climatically homogeneous zones. This study presents a framework for selecting GCMs and detecting future climate change...

<p><em>Climate change is inevitable issue of modern world. Women often share the greater burden of all the impacts due to their lower knowledge base that leads to their limited adaptive capacity. Studies suggests that knowledge and education can result in better resilience and sustainable development. It helps in encouraging changes in attitude and behaviors that help them adapt to climate changes. This paper aims to explore the understanding of local rural women regarding...

Evidence shows that climate change is experienced all over the globe. Climate change is defined as a change in the state of the climate that can be identified and measured by changes in the mean and/or variability of its properties Climate change can persist over a long time, usually over decades and much longer and leads to extremes of weather conditions such as temperature, wind, rainfall, and humidity. Geography curriculum is basically on climate and environment generally The main purpose...

Situated within the broader climate justice movement, the fossil fuel divestment movement calls for both public and private divestment of financial holdings from fossil fuel companies. This paper examines the extent of fossil fuel divestment campaigns at higher education institutions across Canada, examining key actions and tactics through which campaigns are initiated and mobilized, as led by students, faculty, alumni, and climate justice organizations. Findings indicate that out of 220...

A field lab study was conducted to determine how much the indoor climate parameters, ventilation and lighting, influence children's academic abilities. The study involved 92 children, aged 10–12 years, who over four weeks answered a questionnaire and three different performance tests, which measured their processing speed, concentration, logical reasoning and math solving abilities. An experimental design was constructed to test the effect of changing the lighting from constant warm light...
