摘要：Climate change is happening. Youth plays a vital role in addressing environmental issues
and concerns more particular on climate change. Consciousness on climate change is very essential for its
mitigation and adaptation purposes. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the consciousness among
university students on climate change and its implications to global education. The objectives of this study
were (1) to determine the level of awareness of the university students and (2) to identify the activities
undertaken by students incorporating climate change. An adopted close and open-ended questionnaire was
administered to obtain data. A total of 64 respondents were involved in the study. Results show that
university students were aware on climate change as well as its key causes; effects and possible mitigation.
Furthermore, results showed that the university students undertake activities that would mitigate the impact
of climate change. Such activities are tree planting activities, clean-up drive and proper
disposal/segregation of waste and environmental education campaign.
Likewise, the researchers recommend the enhancing of the different curricula to include the
incorporation of climate change and related topics. Other activities such as symposium, forum, seminar
can also be undertaken to promote environmental awareness and consciousness among the students in
relation to climate change.
