dc.description.abstract | To develop to their greatest potential, young children must be allowed to live in an environment
free of pollutants and hazards. For children in developing nations, it is essential that their
parents are informed of climate change, its effects on children's health, and how to help their
children grow and develop. A survey was conducted using hybrid modality to explore parents'
understanding of climate change and their awareness of the effects it has on children's learning
and development in early years. A total of 60 parents with children aged 0 to 8 years
participated in this survey. A self-rated questionnaire was developed and used to collect data.
Findings reveal that 100% parents from urban areas are aware of the climate change issue.
About 85% of the parents have been exposed to some kind of climate change related situation
or disasters. They have also reported that families suffer different types of problem like loss of
job, domestic animals, home etc. due to climate change. It is also found that 63%, 95%, 96%
39% 16% and 14% parents think that climate change effects children’s physical health, mental
health, learning, immunity, cognitive development and disability respectively. More awareness
is needed among parents on how climate change is affecting children’s lives indirectly from
the early years and how to prevent their children from this situation. Therefore, this research
emphasizes the need for more research, awareness-building, and policy changes to assure the
service and lessen the harmful effects of climate change on children. | en_US |
