What does a climate crisis curriculum contain?
The development of a broader knowledge among university students about the basic principles of climate change and the degree of contribution provided by the natural sciences, social sciences, economics, architecture, etc., towards both the understanding of climate change and the complexity of problem-solving approaches related to it. The education of university students in the socio-economic issues (eg. poverty, social justice, security) associated with climate change and to which governments need to find a solution in order to ensure the survival of people and habitats. The motivation of students to take action both during their time as students and, later on, as professionals. - Leal Filho, W. 2010. "Climate change at universities: Results of a world survey." In Leal Filho, W., ed. Universities and climate change: Introducing climate change to university programmes. Heidelberg: Springer, p.2.
How could climate change impact higher education, from individual students, and faculty to institutions around the globe? ... what does academia have to offer the rest of the world as civilization grapples with the developing climate crisis?
