Schools in England are now encouraged by the government to develop Climate Change and Sustainability Education (CCSE). In each of four state-funded secondary schools, interviews were conducted with staff and students to understand the progress they sought with respect to CCSE and how they envisaged that this would occur. A year later, reflexive…

In the context of the current climate emergency, governments are implementing important climate policies promoting zero waste, carbon neutrality, increased greening, and protection of biodiversity. While climate policies are created with the best of intentions, they obscure the lived experiences of front-line workers attempting to implement these…

Education that covers topics such as climate change is critical to developing future scientists and researchers. Facilitating students' recognition of climate change as it occurs in their community can strengthen engagement with the content. Here, we highlight our work in developing a large-scale activity that introduced many facets of climate…

Transformative secondary school environmental education is likely to impact climate action by producing environmentally responsive citizens.

This report examines how OECD countries are equipping their labour markets for the green transition. Drawing on case studies from Austria, Canada, Flanders (Belgium), Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain, it reviews comprehensive national strategies that link employment and skills development with climate goals. The report also analyses targeted…

Purpose: Reliable power in health facilities is crucial for cooling technologies, refrigeration of medicines, preventative care during extreme heat waves and effective health-care responses. Yet, data on clinical sites and the status of electrification remains incomplete and inaccurate in many locations across the globe, particularly in regions…

Purpose: Sustainability education increases environmental awareness and civic involvement. Campus-based initiatives make meaningful contributions to global climate goals by reducing carbon emissions fostering collaboration between academia, industry, government and civil society. The purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of campus-based…

This study analyses the attitudes of university students towards unethical behaviour in the individual and organisational environments, and relates these attitudes to tolerance of corruption in their future professional lives. The results show a positive relationship between attitudes towards unethical behaviour in both environments, as well as…

Our climate is changing due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases from the production and use of fossil fuels. Present atmospheric levels of CO[subscript 2] were last seen 3 million years ago, when planetary temperature sustained high Arctic camels. As scientists and educators, we should feel a professional responsibility to discuss major…
