App Store Description

“KNOW-Climate Change” mobile application aims to present an innovative interactive tool for Climate Change in the current context for the educational community and students in Africa and around the world.
This mobile application is designed to build their capacities on Climate Change basic principles, adaption, and mitigation. Its content emphasizes the role of education and the learning process in developing a climate neutral culture. It also builds students’ knowledge and skills in Climate Change, and it enables them to analyse and monitor climate change risks, vulnerabilities, and capacities in their communities, to better protect themselves, and to share their informed views to influence climate change governance and planning.
Creating knowledge and understanding through science equips us to find solutions to today’s acute economic, social, and environmental challenges and to achieving sustainable development and greener societies. Linking science to society, public understanding of science and the participation of citizens in science are essential to creating societies where people have the necessary knowledge to make professional, personal, and political choices, and to participate in the stimulating world of discovery.
The pack was the product of a joint effort between UNESCO, UNECA-ACPC, UNEP, UNDRR, UNITAR-UN CC Learn and AUC. We hope you will find the content both useful and enjoyable in the teaching and learning process.
