The importance of implementation of climate change education to prepare climate-conscious citizens

Abstract

The paper reveals the necessity of implementation of Climate Change Education at universities to raise environmental awareness of the citizens and employees in the short run. The survey conducted in Bangladesh and Ukraine showed the concern of the youth for environmental issues in their regions but also proved the lack of knowledge and underestimation of the current state of the environment. The obtained results highlighted the current situation from the students’ viewpoints and attitudes towards governmental eco-policy, climate education and eco-friendly lifestyles.
