Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change. It helps people understand and address the impact of global warming, increases “climate literacy” among young people, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour, and helps them adapt to climate change related trends.

First you have to introduce physical geography (weather) to students, then list the changes that have happened due to climate change.

If the students don't know how nature works, they can't see the differences brought about by climate change.

Well,

Climate change is an effective emergency in the environment and life.

The climate change curriculum is not important for all higher education institutions. It will be useful in the training of climatologists, meteorologists, hydrologists, geographers, farmers, ecologists, that is, those higher educational institutions that train specialists working in various industries related to the natural environment.

Dear Michael. thank you. I accept your idea. basic concepts are important in this curriculum. What are the other basic concepts in this regard?

Dear Bayan, thank you . it is really emergency.

Dear Zagir , thank you. Students of colleges and universities have an important roll in society in the future and they are the manager of futures . If they know about climate change, they will use it in their management.

I teach General land studies at the Pedagogical University for future geography teachers (for 4 semesters - 2 full years). Here in this huge discipline there is a semester section "Atmosphere", which ends with the topics "Weather", "Climate"and" Economic significance of climate". The discipline has 3 more weeks of field training, one of which (7 days) is called meteorological.

How interesting. Economy and climate change!!!!! What topics are discussed in economics and climate change?

When talking about climate change, the most important problem is considered to be global warming — a gradual increase in the average annual temperature of the air. Because of it, the sea level rises, storms, floods and droughts increase and become more frequent.

In the coming decades, the problem of climate change will be acute — as will attempts to stop the process, slow it down and adapt to new conditions. All together, this will have a significant impact on the economy of the States. The consequences of global warming and the risks associated with it should be taken into account.

In the twenty-first century, there are three key forces that have a significant impact on the economy: the demographic shift - an increasing share of the elderly population, rapid technological progress, and climate change. Global warming affects the economy directly and indirectly: weather conditions change and require adaptation or preventive measures — for example, to switch to a "green" (low-carbon) economy.

At the end of the XIX century, the temperature on the Earth's surface for the first time began to be recorded regularly. Since then, its average annual value has increased by about 1°C and is projected to increase further. Scientists agree that global warming is the result of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. This occurs as a result of burning fuel — such as coal or oil.

Studies confirm that adverse environmental changes are associated with global warming: for example, rising sea levels and ocean acidity, melting glaciers, the disappearance of entire species of flora and fauna, and the frequency of hurricanes.

Economists view financial losses as the result of a fundamental market error: carbon fuel prices do not take into account the costs of climate change. Businesses and households that produce greenhouse gas emissions by driving cars or generating electricity do not pay for the damage they cause to the environment. Therefore, there is simply no direct incentive to switch to "green" technologies now.

Without proper market incentives, government measures are needed: taxes, special regulations, and additional investment. One solution would be to levy an emissions tax that takes into account social and economic costs. Many leading economists are calling for such a tax. It could stimulate innovation in the field of eco-technologies and accelerate the transition to a" green " economy.

Many Central banks have recognized the importance of increasing financial risks due to climate change. These risks include potential losses on Bank loans due to business interruptions caused by storms, droughts, forest fires, and other extreme events. There are also risks of moving to a low-carbon economy — for example, unexpected losses in the value of assets or companies that depend on fossil fuels. In this regard, even long-term risks can have short-term consequences, as investors overestimate assets in anticipation of a" green " future.

In addition, green companies may still face credit risks related to climate change, for example, when making loans to other businesses or mortgages on coastal real estate.

Risks caused by climate change can threaten the stability of financial systems — therefore, there is a need for a set of preventive measures. In a number of countries, financial supervisors have called on financial institutions to disclose any climate-related risks and conduct "stress tests" to assess them.

In addition to the direct consequences, adaptation to the new climate will require more and more resources: for example, equipment (for example, air conditioners) and the creation of new infrastructure (sea dikes, transport). This means that the cash reserves for expanding production will be less and less. Reducing carbon pollution will also require significant investment.

Thus, climate change is becoming a pressing issue: it must be taken into account when calculating interest rates, potential growth in production, productivity, and capital formation.

Some believe that environmental issues do not need to be taken into account when making monetary policy decisions, because they have either too short-term or too deferred an effect.

Yes, in the short term, monetary policy usually does not suffer from hurricanes and storms. However, they can become frequent and large-scale, and their consequences are so disastrous that they can no longer be ignored. After all, the weather doesn't depend on political forecasts.

Longer-term factors are also usually relevant for monetary policy. Central banks take demographic trends into account — and their effect is also quite delayed. Climate change in this sense resembles a reduction in the labor force, so why is the significance of the second factor not questioned?

Moreover, stock prices and long-term financial assets depend on current expectations, so even climate risks for decades to come can have short-term financial consequences. Climate change is a factor that must be taken into account in order to achieve and maintain a low level of inflation.

Many Central banks already take climate change factors into account when assessing future economic and financial risks.

In General, economists could contribute much more to research on the dangers of climate change and develop appropriate responses at the state level.

Excellent.

What methods do you use to teach this content? And how do you evaluate what students have learned?

Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change. It helps people understand and address the impact of global warming, increases “climate literacy” among young people, encourages changes in their attitudes and behaviour, and helps them adapt to climate change related trends.

The first and foremost aim is to create awareness and promote 'We have to do something towards climate change' sense.

All students need to know the trends in the development of the modern climate

---------Thank you. This is the purpose of my work. I would like to give youth the knowledge to change their attitudes and behaviors through the curriculum. (Dear Aijaz) -------- Thank you. Excellent. (Dear Endashaw,) -------- It is very good. Thank you. Please reply to my question : What methods do you use to teach this content? And how do you evaluate what students have learned? (Dear Zagir)

Changes, fluctuations, warming, cooling of the climate students have to be taught in stages. On the 1st course in the discipline "General earth science" I give knowledge in the section "Weather and climate", i.e. the basics of meteorology and climatology. During the summer field season, students get acquainted with the devices and use them to measure weather parameters at the training field practice in meteorology. On the 2nd year in the discipline "landscape Science" I explain to students about the climatic factor of landscape formation. During the summer season, students study and map genetic landforms in the geomorphology field practice. Here they also find out the cause-and-effect relationship of the terrain with the climate. On the 3rd year in the regional discipline "Physical geography of Dagestan" we study the climate of our region in depth, based on the knowledge we received earlier. During the summer field period of 3 years of training in landscape field practice with a trip to the mountains, we consider the features of the territory's landscapes in connection with climate parameters. These are changes in temperature, precipitation, and moisture coefficient, which together with the features of the terrain acts as a determining factor in the formation of landscapes.

In field practice with students, you have to be in the rain, in the hail, and sometimes in the hot, scorching sun...

Dear Dr. Zagir Ataev

Nice and useful contribution.

Best regards

Thank you ziga , What factors can influence the design of a curriculum on climate change?

Simply put; climate change is here and affecting the whole world at the moment. Moreover, it will be with us for a long time and we have to adapt everything accordingly, including the education system.

Good luck.

dear Mehmet, Yes, It will be with us for a long time, so we need to prepare people to fight it through the curriculum, we need to know more about it and teach it to others. Like the coronavirus disease that we need to know so that we can deal with it

We are dealing this one in ecology subject especially for the Post Graduates in Botany. Now a days most of the students concentrating on their employment oppourtunities rather topics included. To create the awareness among the public is more important to cope up the circumstances

.

Dear Shahnaz,

Thanks. It's time to include recent trends and impact of climate change on earth and so on (specially, agriculture).

Dear Dilip, Of course, the impact of climate change on agriculture is significant. Farmers suffer a lot if they are not aware of it, and so the role of education and curriculum comes important again.

Climate change is the rapid warming of earth's climate due to human activities. If left unchecked it will be a major havoc for our planet. Climate change or its effect has an impact on school/college going children. Its study will help the children to understand the impact of global warming and will also help them to adapt to climate change related trends. The children should know about its threat to human civilization as well as the ecosystem on our planet. So, education in climate change is very important. Including the topic in the school/college curriculum and focusing it as specific issue on climate change education is of utmost importance.

Thank you, Dear Munira, Do you think colleges should offer a general course or a specialized course?

Dear Shahnaz, Thanks for your concern and timely inclusion of awareness through curriculum development/ amendment under different levels are very important.

Thank you Shahnaz Karami for your prompt response to my reply. I think, at college level the topic can be included as general course under Biology. If any one wants to be graduated in the subject he/she can take it as specialized subject for his/her undergraduate (Honours) and postgraduate studies (Masters) in the field of Environmental Sciences.

Thank you very much, Dear Munira, What could be the consequence of such a course in colleges? I think it's the development of green jobs . is it right?

Dear Shahnaz Karami, given the new changes, the inability of existing curricula to cope with them, and the low level of values in many societies.

Good answer Dr. Munira Nasiruddin, Thank you.

I belief it is because climate change is the most potent environmental challenge that has ever existed and has the capacity to disrupt social-economic infrastructure globally. As such as all levels of education, it must be incorporated to enhance the response and disaster preparedness resulting from climate change crises

Following.

To create awareness among students the climate change, pollution, ozone layer depletation, GHG's and other environmental related must be added from the school curriculum. Here in India one compulsory subject for the second year of every graduate students to create awareness.

Great

Thank you, Dear Subhash

Thank you Dear Joan

Its important - and extremely important - but unfortunately ignored

Dear Abhijit, Excellent. Thank you so much.

Climate Change should be part of Graduation level and onwards in Masters as well, because this is the segment, who look forwards for a career and are expected to play a reasonable role towards development of any Nation. A reasonable degree of understanding about climate and climate change would certainly be helpful to gear up minds as well as the same would be helpful in policy planning and towards developing a vision for a better tomorrow for the generations to come.

Yes, and I think the reason for this is because of the university's low ability to contribute to solving community problems.

Nice Dr. Atul Kohli.

It should be made mandatory in Higher education with marks on Projects.

Because directly or indirectly, professionals in all areas must adopt measures to reduce greenhouse gases. Therefore, it is essential that higher education students know the problem and, with that, they can think professional attitudes that will contribute to the good of all.

It should be made mandatory

Climate change and natural disasters are essential in the higher-education curriculum. In medical education, there are many diseases and areas in medicine are involved, such as Emergency Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics and Infectious disease, and Psychiatry.

These areas that I referred to cannot be ignored. I think we need to prepare students to be ready for such challenges when they join the medical workforce. Also, we know that environmental changes play a role in the pathogenesis of some chronic diseases, cancers and psychological health. Natural disasters can result in the spread of diseases such as cholera, malaria and others.
