“…Among these findings, Gal [11] reports climate change education as improving attitudes toward environmental activism and positive personal behavior change among sixth grade students. Turner and Wilks also share improved learning enjoyment by 6-and 7-year-old students regarding climate change in an outdoor and local classroom setting [12]. There, students went beyond thinking about the subject to experiencing it.…”

Climate change is a wicked problem, defying simple resolution. Education in various forms and at various levels has sought to improve understanding and stimulate climate change action in young people. There exists, however, a certain wickedness in education systems as well that makes climate change education difficult to enact successfully. These include an unsupportive education environment where academic standards related to climate change are missing, the lack of an inquiry-based pedagogy that can be well-suited to investigating topics like climate change with no easy answers, and ill-prepared teachers who do not fully know both the physical science and social aspects of the topic. A review of education standards in the United States and the literature on the latter two issues is used to make the argument that it is the geography classroom that can serve as the best unifying space that is most supportive of holistic and meaningful climate change education. This future is possible should we be successful in amending standards, pedagogy, and teacher preparation.

“…They could also limit the intensity of exercise on extreme heat days and signpost schools or parents to credible sources of information on air quality and pollen count (Philipsborn et al 2021). Outdoor spaces and physical activities have been shown to increase children's enjoyment of learning outside the classroom and improve their understanding of climate change (Turner and Wilks 2022). Ma et al (2022) emphasised the importance of understanding the risk factors and protective factors in relation to the effects of climate change on people's mental health to support their well-being.…”

The effects of climate change, such as air pollution and extreme heat events, can adversely affect the physical and mental health of children and young people at all ages. This article explores the effects of climate change on children and young people's development and explains the effects of air pollution and heatwaves on their health. The article also discusses how children and young people are knowledgeable and concerned about the effects of climate change and can offer new perspectives on addressing these effects. Finally, the authors consider the role of nurses in raising awareness of the adverse effects of climate change on children's health, incorporating climate change in their practice and promoting opportunities for children's involvement in healthcare decision-making, strategies and policy development.

“…According to Kanozia (2020), there is still a significant barrier to safeguarding life in the modern world due to the general population's lack of environmental literacy. Turner and Wilks (2022), eloquently quoting the relevance of environmental education for teachers and educators, stated that humans genuinely have a responsibility to take care of the welfare of the global ecosystem. Teachers need to be ready for this!…”

The study aimed to analyze the knowledge, attitude, and behavioral components of environmental literacy of prospective teachers for quality education in District Lahore. The objective of this study was to assess the ecological literacy of future teachers in terms of the information, attitudes, and behaviors they possess. The methodology employed in this investigation was a quantitative one. A convenient selection sample of 325 graduate aspiring educators at Lahore's 13 public universities enrolled in teacher education programs was chosen. Two tools were employed in this investigation. The survey was broken up into two sections. Section A contains fundamental demographic information, while Section B is subdivided into Environmental Knowledge (EK), Environmental Attitudes (EA), and Environmental Behaviors (EB) categories, respectively. This study found that prospective educators have a moderate level of ecological literacy. The survey found that male prospective teachers were more literate than their female counterparts, but there was no discernible gender gap in environmental literacy. Future educators do have favorable perspectives and actions toward the environment. No significant gender differences in prospective teachers' attitudes or actions were discovered. It is suggested that colleges and universities that prepare future educators must include environmental studies.
