Abstract
Climate is a common concern of human kind. The impact of climate change
on the health and well being of people globally has attracted the attention
of the member countries of the United Nations which recently included the
issues of climate change in its 17 sustainable development goals. Climate
change education is considered important in this paper because climate
change is certainly the most important environment challenge of the
present age. The role of climate change education in enhancing the capacity
of citizens in mitigating the impact of climate change for sustainable family
well-being cannot be over emphasized. This paper recommends the
inclusion of climate change education in the school curriculum at all levels
of our education; and the initiation of action on public education or
awareness on the need for the use of renewable energy both in the homes,
farmlands and industries among others.
