This presentation provides a brief overview on some key concepts in determining the outcomes of climate change education including the knowledge domains on the science, impacts and management of climate change, as well as taking into consideration the cognitive domains of outcomes such as factual recall, deep understanding, skill in analyzing climate change information, for example. The presentation will also discuss the concepts of awareness, knowledge, attitude and action in developing curriculum for learning about climate change. The ultimate aim of education is not just to “inform people, but to change them” (UNESCO, 1997). It is based on this philosophy that CCE should transform learners from knowing and doing something about climate change to being a global citizen ready to engage the issues of climate change.
