Climate education involves activities, real-world experiences, and interactive learning opportunities to understand climate change. Activities include outdoor field trips, climate simulations, science experiments, community-based projects, and real climate data analysis. Indigenous knowledge and perspectives are incorporated, and students are encouraged to develop and implement climate action projects. Carbon footprint calculations are also included.
A Green Campus approach aims to reduce carbon footprint by focusing on waste management, purchasing choices, and energy consumption. This includes purchasing from local vendors, choosing eco-friendly products, using sustainable transportation, and establishing recycling facilities. The Purchasing Officer should be trained to monitor carbon footprint in purchasing, and the campus should also consider purchasing from environmentally friendly vendors.
