Previously I was invited by Chemical Engineering Youth Community located in University of Khartoum to discuss the environmental situation in Sudan. I got shocked by knowing that they have no idea what climate change means. I thought I will swoon because they are students in the 1st ranked University of Sudan, and most of them are in their third year on campus but actually, and to be honest, I got to know about climate change by myself through the internet, my university didn't play any role in his matter and turned out all the Sudanese Universities don't care to educate the students about such things unless the major specialization was environmental studies, agriculture, forest, ... etc. And the community, in turn, used to only focusing on the IT skills, foreign cultures, languages, scholarships and so, I was really glad for them to start thinking in not only build them self but also to take a step to understand the issues facing our world. I am trying to create climate generation, so I presented them all I know. Literally, I covered a brief introduction to global warming and climate change, starting from global warming in the past and the future, the greenhouse effect, a type of greenhouse gases, climate change in Sudan, and finally climate negotiation. |

I can relate to this. Our education makes us who we are and how we think. It's important for educational institutions to understand the need for making young generation aware of problems like climate change. Appreciable move Razan. May you make change happen. :)

Hello Razaan
Sadly it is true that many universities lack proper majoring in such environmental fields, and that is a reality that I am also facing here in Korea. Engineering methods could be used greatly in environmental issues to improve this current situation but without the needed education to acknowledge the seriousness of the problem, it lacks devotion from these students.
Thanks for sharing, your works are great :)

Hello Razaan, it is also true in my country that most of majors in universities do not teach or educate students about climate change and relative issues. Many students understand climate change in broad and vague definition, not acknowledging this issue as 'the most severe trans-national problem' in 21st century. Thanks to your work and participation in there, I do hope students who shared thoughts and learned about climate change can gather up to solve the problem as well, in means of environmental justice.
Thanks for sharing your experience. :)

Well, that is a bit embarrassing. But education curriculums in some countries don't do much to educate students on contemporary issues like climate change.
