SUMMARY:Stepping Up or Falling Behind? Students\, Universities and Climate 
 Crisis
DESCRIPTION:8 February 2023\, 9:00-10:30\nChair: Amanda Lange Salvia (Unive
 rsity of Passo Fundo)\nPresenter: Caine Rolleston (University College Lond
 on)\nDiscussant: Ailsa Holloway (Auckland University of Technology). \nIn
  this online presentation\, we discuss the findings from a large-scale sur
 vey conducted among undergraduate students in twelve universities in Brazi
 l\, Fiji\, Mozambique and Kenya carried out as part of the Transforming Un
 iversities for a Changing Climate (Climate-U) project. \nREGISTER HERE\nT
 he survey centres on students’ attitudes and experiences in relation to 
 climate change and perceptions of climate action in their universities. Ov
 erall\, in all countries\, students reported that they were most likely to
  learn about climate change from internet and social media sources. There 
 is strong consensus that students should be learning more about climate ch
 ange at their universities and that they are not satisfied with current le
 arning. \n‘Environmental concern’ was found to be higher among studen
 ts studying science\, agriculture\, and health/welfare related subjects\, 
 by women\, by more economically advantaged students\, and among students i
 n Brazil. While students in Brazil were most likely to believe human actio
 ns are the major cause of climate change and provided the most pessimistic
  estimations of the impact of climate change\, they were also the least li
 kely to be confident that government action could make an impact. Converse
 ly\, students in Kenya had the greatest confidence in government action\, 
 were the most willing to participate in climate-change activities and were
  most optimistic about the impacts of climate change.\nFollowing the prese
 ntation and invited response\, there will be an open discussion and debat
 e with the webinar participants. \n&nbsp\;
