Inhalt:
This open access book presents peer-reviewed chapters that introduce the subject of climate change within formal and informal sectors of education in Africa, as key to building the capacity of current and future generations to address the most pressing global issue. An insight into existing practices, perceptions, and prospects for climate change education in Africa can bring to light relevant frameworks that can support a climate-resilient future in the continent. Among others, the book contends that there is a need to rethink current practices of climate change education in the continent by optimizing Indigenous knowledge systems and context-relevant pedagogies as important strategies. Governments, civil society, and other stakeholders in Africa can draw on the rich insights captured in this book as they consider feasible approaches to resolve the current climate crisis.
