1.1.2 Knowledge

The knowledge element of learning outcomes generally refers to factual or conceptual knowledge. It also is often linked with understanding. When featured within the learning outcomes of climate-related educational interventions, the knowledge element may include such things as: understanding the evidence surrounding changes in temperatures over time; the causes of anthropogenic climate change in greenhouse gas emissions; the aspects of human behaviour that lead to greenhouse gas emissions; and ways of absorbing carbon from the atmosphere (McCowan, 2021). The knowledge element may also include understanding the impact of climate change on people around the world.
