Climate change knowledge, attitude, and perception of university students in UAE (Research paper 5)

One of the most important global issues of our day is climate change, which calls for widespread knowledge and action. This study examines the connections between university students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding climate change. The study included a sample of 340 pupils from various demographic backgrounds. The results show a strong correlation between these three important factors. information of climate change showed a weak but positive correlation with attitude, suggesting that attitudes tend to become more favorable as information grows. Knowledge and perception showed a stronger, more positive correlation, highlighting the role that knowledge plays in influencing people's opinions of climate change. Furthermore, a somewhat positive correlation between attitude and perception was found. The study offers insightful information for campaigns aimed at raising public awareness and education about climate change. Integrated climate change education, advocacy groups, required courses on climate change, and customized educational campaigns are among the recommendations. Future research must address the study's weaknesses, especially the sample and data collection techniques. In addition to adding to the current conversation on climate change education, this study emphasizes the importance of knowledge, attitude, and perception in promoting climate change awareness and constructive action among UAE youth, who are crucial players in tackling this global issue.
