“…Moreover, both surface water and underground water are being affected by CC (Alhassan & Hadwen, 2017). In Romania, the rising concern includes the impact of the changes in climate on its forestry, agriculture, human settlements and water management (Teodorescu & Oros, 2010). CC impacts on river discharge are vitally important in Ukraine; the results indicate the temperature increases and river discharge will increase because of earlier snowmelt during winter as well as decrease all through the spring (Didovets et al, 2017).…”

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the perception of climate change impacts on human health in Bangladesh through data from nationality representative surveys conducted in some district of Bangladesh. In Bangladesh there have a few research has been conducted on public perceptions about the impact of climate change on human health. A structured questionnaire method was conducted, and data collected from 615 respondents. The findings of this study reveal that out of 615 respondents, 76.0% of the respondents replied positively while remaining 24.0%, almost one-fourth of total respondents, indicated that they have not heard the term climate change before. Knowledgeable in climate change, 92.5% of respondents agreed that climate change has an impact on human health while only 7.5% respondents disagreed with this statement. 90.5% of respondents argued that they are agreed with the opinion that climate change is a serious threat to human health. This study will contribute informatively to the scant information on the impacts of climate change affecting human health in Bangladesh. Theoretically, the study will also contribute to the previous literature on the public perceptions of climate change impacts on human health. Furthermore, the results of the study will be very useful for climate change policy makers, especially Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) for the making related policies and mechanisms in order to overcome with current human health impacts in Bangladesh. In addition, the awareness of existence, the impacts, and the causes of climate change will be possible to integrate climate change into policy planning, projects and daily activities as well as make the whole society to participate in the entire process to mitigate climate change.

“…Education is an essential element of the global response to climate change (Teodorescu and Oros, 2010;Gumucio et al, 2011;Tasquiera et al, 2013). Climate change education (CCE) helps young people comprehend and address the impact of global warming.…”

Purpose Teachers can be regarded as key figures in climate change education (CCE). Therefore, the purpose of this study is assessment of Iranian lower secondary teachers? level of knowledge, attitudes and practices toward CCE in a less-touched-upon context. Design/methodology/approach The present study used a cross-sectional survey design, which used a specially designed questionnaire administered in ten high schools (five boys’ and five girls’ lower secondary schools). A sample of 108 lower secondary school teachers was selected through a multistage stratified random sampling technique. The gender structure of the sample was 48.1 per cent male and 51.9 per cent female subjects. To determine the status of teachers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices, the obtained quantitative data were classified into three categories on a scale of 100 per cent: good status (more than 75 per cent), moderate status (50-75 per cent) and weak status (less than 50 per cent). Findings The findings revealed that the involved teachers were equipped with an appropriate knowledge, i.e. 22.2 per cent good and 52.8 per cent moderate levels of knowledge. Furthermore, the subjects’ level of attitude was moderate (44.5 per cent); however, their level of practice was weak (52.8 per cent). In terms of gender, male subjects’ knowledge and attitude levels were higher than those of female subjects. However, female subjects reported higher levels of practice in comparison with male subjects. Overall, the results of this study highlighted the necessity of improving lower secondary teachers’ CCE in general and of the level of their attitudes and practices in particular. Originality/value The present study sheds more light on the change management and environmental education within the Iranian context. The results of this study accentuate the necessity of presenting more CCE programs for teachers. Furthermore, curriculum planners can take advantage of the obtained results to carry out curriculum reforms.
