Further education and higher education have a key role to play in providing the world with the many thousands of climate change-trained graduates that are required. Traditionally, such training has been discipline-specific, but interdisciplinary climate change graduates are also required if governments, businesses and public bodies are to tackle climate change effectively. Keywords: carbon management; climate change education; interdisciplinary expertise; skills gap In recent years, calls have come with an increasing frequency for A common solution to this challenge in academia is to improvements in the breadth, depth and interdisciplinarity of utilize an array of experts from different disciplines and to climate change-related education (e.g. Potter, 2009; Rajendran, create a synthesis of their inputs that aims to identify any of 2010; Gillenwater, 2011).

Young people aged 13–15 from two schools in Wales participated in three workshops, which culminated in students producing IDNs about climate change using Twine storytelling software. An inductive, grounded-theory approach informed by Bourdieusien principles of habitus and value was used to explore students’ responses to the Programme. Stage 1 coding identified ‘Core Themes’ and located student responses along tri-axial continua showing engagement, agency, and power. Stage 2 coding combined ‘Core Themes’ to build upon Cantell et al.’s 2019 Bicycle Citation: Ross, H.; Rudd, J.A.; Model of Climate Change Education to create a new ‘holistic Agentic Climate-Change Engagement’ Skains, R.L.; Horry, R.

  • School-Based Reforestation to Combat Climate Change
    School-Based Reforestation to Combat Climate Change Allison Anderson, Nonresident Fellow, Global Economy and Development, Center for Universal Education The Brookings Institution JUNE 03, 2011 — Approximately a third of the Earth’s land mass is covered by forest, which supports water protection and 80 percent of terrestrial biodiversity. Forests are not only ecological assets, but they also sustain economic growth by providing timber and non-timber consumptive goods and livelihoods for approximately one-fourth of the world’s population. In 2004, trade in forest products was estimated at $327 billion. Therefore, uncontrolled deforestation has devastating consequences for the environment and the global economy. Forested land is under increasing pressure due to high population growth, rising consumption rates for timber and non-timber products, unsustainable harvesting and economic development policies that promote expansion agriculture into marginal lands. As a consequence, deforestation has increased at an alarming rate of 13 million hectares per year, which is about the size of Alabama. Deforestation and forest degradation account for approximately 18 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, more than the entire global transportation sector and second only to the energy sector. The continued loss of forests in the world not only threatens livelihoods, but also the environment. One way to constrain the impacts of climate change is to reduce emissions from and through the forest sector as a complement to ongoing climate change policies. Collaborative forest rehabilitation efforts around the world are a start, but they cannot be done by governments and the private sector alone. School-based reforestation initiatives are an important way for students, teachers, and communities to make tangible contributions to climate change mitigation efforts.

Children and adolescents around the world are aware of it and are desperately calling for action. School strikes are now becoming a common phenomenon in many countries, with students not attending classes on Fridays as an act of protest. They are concerned that governments and adults are failing them to the extent that they have filed serious legal complaints to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to protest against the lack of government action on the climate crisis. These young activists are right! Their future, our future, is jeopardized! The effects of the climate crisis are already being felt across the globe and especially in East Asia and the Pacific.

This effort is supported by Second Nature, who has maintained the ACUPCC in some capacity since 2006, retaining sole responsibility in 2011. Moraine Valley Community College signed the ACUPCC in 2013. And in 2015, the ACUPCC further evolved into three commitments: Carbon Commitment (again, formerly ACUPCC); the Resilience Commitment: a newly developed commitment to address the critical need for resiliency planning; and, Climate Commitment, which combines the two.

  • The Global Climate Crisis: a Child Rights Crisis
    November 2019 POLICY BRIEF CHILD RIGHTS The Global Climate Crisis: NOW! A Child Rights Crisis “Acknowledging that climate change is a common concern of humankind, Parties should, when taking action to address climate change, respect, promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights, the right to health, the rights of indigenous peoples, local communities, migrants, children, persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable situations and the right to development, as well as gender equality, empowerment of women and intergenerational equity.” UNFCCC Paris Agreement, 2015 “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.” Greta Thunberg, 16-year old climate activist, UN Climate Action Summit, 2019 2 CHILD RIGHTS NOW! • The global climate crisis: a child rights crisis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Climate change arguably poses the single greatest challenge to the realisation of children’s rights, and threatens to undercut decades of hard-won progress to improve their lives. • Despite being least responsible for this unfolding crisis, children bear the brunt of the climate-related impacts, while possessing the fewest resources to respond and cope. At its core, climate change represents a shocking abdication of one generation’s responsibility to the next, violating principles of intergenerational equity. Drought, flooding, extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and desertification directly undermine a broad spectrum of children’s rights, from access to food and safe water, to housing, education, freedom from exploitation, violence and abuse, and – too frequently – their right to survive and thrive.

  • Challenges and Opportunities for Climate Change Education (CCE) in East Africa: a Critical Review
    climate Review Challenges and Opportunities for Climate Change Education (CCE) in East Africa: A Critical Review Abigael Apollo 1,* and Marcellus Forh Mbah 2 1 Department of International Development, School of Arts and Humanities, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham NG1 4FQ, UK 2 Institute of Education, School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham NG1 4FQ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: 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 knowledge and skill acquisitions, and consequently, positive behavioral change. Specifically, education can capacitate individuals and communities to make informed decisions and take practical actions for climate-resilient sustainable development. This study is focused on East Africa, a region whose economy heavily relies on climate-dependent activities. At present, East African governments are already embedding climate change in their school curriculum. However, they lack coherent approaches to leverage climate change education as a tool in their adaptation and mitigation strategies. Therefore, this review explores some of the critical barriers to climate change education and possible opportunities for leveraging learning to promote sustainable development in East Africa.

Climate change impacts they way national parks are used and managed and the ecosystems within them. It alters weather patterns and ocean temperatures, increases the risk of drought, can exacerbate habitat loss and extinction, causes sea level rise, and affects our ability to grow and access food across the globe. The scientific consensus on human-caused climate change is overwhelming: humans, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal, are forcing earth’s climate to warm. There is no scientifically plausible alternative theory that explains the changes to Earth’s climate we are experiencing today.
