“…Our study was carried out in 5-16 November 2020 during the first semester of the academic year 2020/2021. The number of participants was 100, slightly greater than that in the Hamburg and Qingdao surveys (von Storch et al, 2019). We highlight that around 18 % of the total number of students at CUMe participated in this survey.…”

“…We have carried out a survey on the attitudes of the students at CUMe in Mérida (SW Spain) on climate change following the work made by Storch et al (2019) with students in Hamburg (Germany) and Qingdao (China). We have recruited 100 students to complete a questionnaire in order to know about the opinions of the participants on this important challenge for our society.…”

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges for our society to face. To assess the state of Science on climate change, the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988. With 195 member countries, it is also responsible for providing regular scientific reports, future risk estimations, and mitigation options on climate change. Their fifth and last report was published in 2014 (IPCC, 2014) and the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report is expected for 2022. This report shows a wide consensus that the observed increase in global temperature is produced by anthropogenic causes. Because of this fact, very recent social movements, such as the modern "Fridays for Future", have emerged in order to raise awareness and to provide a response to climate change.Several studies have been published relating climate change and society (Yu et al., 2013; Bray and von Storch, 2016). Some of these studies are based on the idea of climatology as a post-normal science (Bray and Storch, 1999). For example, Ratter et al. (2012) concluded that there was a decline in attention of the western society on climate change in that time. They indicated that such decline could be a manifestation of attention cycles and it may reverse in the future. Recently, von Storch et al. (2019) carried out a survey to learn about the opinions of students about climate change, namely, at the Ocean University of China in Qingdao in 2015-2016, and at the Cluster of Excellence Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction of the University of Hamburg in 2017. The responses collected from 87 (Qingdao)and 72 (Hamburg) undergraduates and post-graduates allowed von Stroch et al. (2019) to conclude that the differences in the attitudes between both groups about the roles of science, of the state and of the civil society in facing climate change can be explained by cultural differences. Moreover, although in both surveys most of the respondents attributed climate change to anthropogenic effects, the percentage in the case of Hamburg survey (93 %) was greater than in Qingdao survey (70 %).

“…Obviously it is possible to solve climate change problem only in cooperation because it's a planet wide problem. And also a single approach to solution of this problem, consensus concerning climate change and unite measurement instruments are needed [4][5]. Researchers from different countries are putting this opinion forth meaning cooperation and consensus between representatives from different continents: both Europe and Asia.…”

The authors of the article are raising current issues related to climate change and global warming. Not all the countries are responding to these processes the same way and undertake joint complex efforts to mitigate climate change impacts. The authors have analyzed the existing legislations and actions for adaptation to climate change in the EU and separate European countries. “Covenant of Mayors”, ADAPT program, Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe are considered in detail. Informational and awareness-raising work of state and educational entities is one of the main necessary actions to mitigate climate change negative impacts. The article presents the results of the opinion poll made by the European Social Survey, “Russian Public Opinion Research Center” (JSC “VCIOM”) and the investigations of German State Development Bank KfW on how citizens perceive climate change processes, their sense of personal responsibility and personal reaction. Also a brief review of educational programs of builders, urban developers and architects in European and Russian universities is added to the article. The conclusion of the authors is as such: it is necessary to intensify legislative measures for adaptation of cities to climate change, the stronger control of the amount of carbon dioxide emissions and coordinated actions in one region are needed. It is necessary to pay careful attention to climatic education of the students – future builders and urban developers.
