dc.description.abstractTo 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
