Integrating Climate Change Competencies into Mechanical Engineering Education, etc.This book offers insights into the educational dimensions of climate change and promotes measures to improve education in this context. It is widely believed that education can play a key role in finding global solutions to many problems related to climate change. Indeed, education as a process not only helps young people to better understand and address the impact of global warming, but also fosters better attitudes and behaviours to aid efforts towards mitigating climate change and adapting to a changing environment. But despite the central importance of education in relation to climate change, there is a paucity of publications on this theme. Against this background, the book focuses on the educational aspects of climate change and showcases examples of research, projects and other initiatives aimed at educating various audiences. It also provides a platform for reflections on the role education can play in fostering awareness on a changing climate. Presenting a wide range of valuable lessons learned, which can be adapted and replicated elsewhere, the book appeals to educators and practitioners alike.Climate Change Management,1610-2010Education, HigherEcologyCommunity psychologyEnvironmental sciencesSocial aspectsBusiness ethicsHigher EducationEnvironmental SciencesCommunity PsychologyEnvironmental Social SciencesBusiness EthicsEducation, Higher.Ecology.Community psychology.Environmental sciencesSocial aspects.Business ethics.Higher Education.Environmental Sciences.Community Psychology.Environmental Social Sciences.Business Ethics.577.27071Leal Filho Walteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHemstock Sarah Ledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910357854403321Climate Change and the Role of Education2503331UNINA
