RAMPING UP ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AMONG RURAL ADULT IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH: THE COMMUNITY EDUCATION PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in the frequency and intensity of weather-related disasters such as droughts, floods, and heat waves. These disasters are a consequence of climate change, which is largely caused by human activities such as deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels, and industrialization. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change due to its high dependency on agriculture, low levels of development, and limited access to resources and infrastructure. Rural residents in this region, who constitute a significant proportion of the population, are particularly vulnerable to climate change as they rely heavily on natural resources for their livelihoods. This paper will discuss the role of community education in climate change adaptation among rural residents in sub-Saharan Africa
