Education of climate changes and evaluation among high school students in Iran

Abstract

Adequate knowledge about the effects of climate change on the environment is an important factor in taking conscious action to reduce its effects. The future behavior of students is influenced by their education about environmental and climate change issues. Students located in forested (Kalibar) and non-forested (Tabriz) regions were selected to participate in this study because of the importance of environmental knowledge in promoting better management of natural resources and combating climate change effects. Measuring students’ attitudes toward education and climate change can allow decision-makers to plan an appropriate program of instruction and determine the effectiveness of the curriculum.
