Climate Change, Knowledge System and Education

Abstract

  The term "knowledge systems" describes the various ways that communities and cultures perceive, engage with, and comprehend the world. It encompasses formal knowledge systems like science as well as informal ones like Indigenous knowledge systems. There is a chance to connect different knowledge systems, such as scientific, Indigenous, and local knowledge, because of climate change. The integration of scientific and Indigenous knowledge through collaborative approaches can result in more comprehensive and sustainable climate solutions, and education can be a means of fostering this kind of communication and collaboration. Diverse knowledge systems and education are essential components of the global response to climate change. Educational institutions may cultivate a generation of climate-literate citizens equipped to lessen and adapt to the effects of climate change by arming people with information, critical thinking abilities, and respect for many perspectives on the environment. Exploring the relationship between education, knowledge systems, and climate change is crucial because it shows how education can help solve climate change and how various knowledge systems may help us comprehend and lessen this global issue. In this sense, the current study concentrates on how integrating various knowledge systems—from Indigenous wisdom to scientific research —improves the world's capacity to address the implications of climate change comprehensively and inclusively.
