A recent study by Professor Ayodeji Ifegbesan at Olabisi Onabanjo University reveals the factors (CCC) that affects climate change awareness (CCC). This study was published on Heliyon, exploring how geographical figures and sources of information shaping the public’s understanding of climate change. This is an urgent issue, which pose a major threat to global human health and livelihood.
Professor IFEGBESAN and his team, including Dr. Razaq Azeez, Professor Isaac Rampedi, and BIODUN OGUNYEMI at Olabisi Onabanjo University, and BIODUN OGUNYEMI at the University of Johannesburg University, which introduced data from African -American computers and collected from three years from the time. AFROBAROMETER Data. Professor IFEGBESAN said: “Our goal is to understand the dynamics of climate change awareness, especially in countries with fewer African industries.” The study found that the CCC level of participants is usually very low, and radio news is determined to be the main source of information.
The study revealed a significant difference in CCCs in each population statistics field. For example, compared with men, women show a higher level of climate change awareness. Professor IFEGBESAN pointed out: “Women in African communities are usually more vulnerable to environmental factors and play a vital role in agriculture, which can explain its higher level of consciousness.” In addition, rural residents show the consciousness This may be higher than the city’s peers, which may be because they directly rely on natural resources and the first -hand experience on the climate.
Education has become a key prediction indicator for climate change awareness. People with a higher level of education show a larger CCC, emphasizing the importance of education plans. Professor IFEGBESAN emphasized: “Educational results are the most effective prediction indicators of climate change awareness.” The comprehensive method of this study uses statistical analysis (such as T test, Anova and multiple regression) to provide strong insights for the prediction indicators of CCC.
These findings also emphasize the importance of diversified information. Although broadcast news is the main medium, its effectiveness is limited by its one -dimensional nature. Professor IFEGBESAN suggested: “Need more attractive and more sensory ways to communicate with climate.”
The impact of the research on policies and plans is important. Enhanced climate change education and using multiple media channels can significantly improve the CCC of African population. In addition, research and advocating capabilities construction plans to give citizens to reduce the knowledge and tools required for climate impact.
All in all, this research provides valuable insights for the determination of the determination of African climate change awareness, emphasizing the key role of education and information dissemination. By solving these factors, decision makers and educators can better enable the African community to face the challenges facing climate change.
