What Is Climate Education?
What is climate change education? Why is it necessary? As we all know, climate change is one of the most consequential phenomena of the 21 st century, with implications far into the future. Yet if well-handled it is manageable and even beneficial to mankind when problems are turned into opportunities. Climate change education is necessary because any kind of problem cannot be tackled without a clear understanding of the roots, concepts, workings and the entire framework of the issue. Climate education is important because a global effort towards solutions is needed, and we cannot progress without the larger majority of the earth’s population being in agreement and working as one. Climate education or CCE is basically education about the causes of climate change, the consequences on the global climate system and the socioeconomic impacts thereof. It also covers personal and collective roles and responsibilities as well as attitudes and behaviors needed to address the issue. Young
