Abstract

Over the past century, Mississippi has experienced significant increases in average temperatures, contributing to a variety of environmental and socioeconomic challenges. Changing precipitation patterns, including more frequent and severe droughts, threaten the state’s agriculture and water resources. At the same time, increasingly intense storms and floods pose risks to infrastructure and human safety. This paper explores evolving climate patterns in Mississippi, focusing on increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, and examines the broader implications of these extreme temperature trends for Mississippi’s economy, health, and livelihoods. Trend analysis shows that Mississippi experiences year-round precipitation, hot summers, and relatively mild winters. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico serve as a major source of moisture and help moderate temperatures along the Mississippi coast, which impacts tourism and agricultural productivity. Over the past thirty years, the average annual precipitation in Mississippi has been 58.9 inches, with the northern region receiving about 50 inches and the coastal region nearly 65 inches. The state’s average temperature is extremely high, with a record low of 53°F and a record high of 75.3°F. This paper offers valuable insights into how Mississippi can adapt to a warming climate while protecting its natural resources and communities. The analysis highlights the need for stronger climate adaptation strategies and policy interventions to mitigate these impacts, with a focus on sustainable land and water management practices. This paper provides valuable insights for policymakers, environmental scientists, and stakeholders seeking to address the state’s climate challenges.

Abstract

Globally, Climate change adversely impacts people's lives. Climate change has not spared Sub-Saharan Africa in terms of farming and food security. Sub-Saharan Africa's overdependence on agriculture and farming adversely impacts the standard of living and quality of life. This study explored secondary data analysis of global institutions' reports to examine the impact of climate change on food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. The paper synthesizes themes and patterns to comprehend the effects of climate change on food supply. The data was analyzed through a thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes from the secondary data. The findings established that climate change reduces farming productivity, which causes food shortages and increases the vulnerability of farming. Food security can be improved by adopting climate-change agricultural practices and increasing investment in agricultural infrastructure. The paper concludes that climate change impacts food security. This paper recommends that the government and global institutions support Sub-Saharan African farmers. It contributes to raising awareness of measures to improve food security in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract

Climate change education refers to the process of educating people about the causes, effects, and solutions to climate change. It is a critical component of efforts to address the global climate crisis, as it helps individuals understand the need for action and empowers them to make informed decisions in their personal and professional lives. The paper argued that drastic measures are required to reduce climate change threats, which is a visible adversary that demands the same emergency reaction as the COVID-19 pandemic. Education is considered a response to rising worldwide environmental concerns in the twenty-first century. The world's environmental issues necessitate immediate attention to climate change education. This paper is based on the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory lensed with a transformative paradigm. It explores the present inherent global risk to human health and environmental well-being, as well as its implications for future natural disasters. As a result, this paper contends that an innovative approach to addressing the climate change threat through education is necessary. The paper proposed, among other things, a speedy response to climate change challenges through coordinated worldwide support for climate change education for sustainable development and the inclusion of climate change education in all sectors, integrating climate change education across all disciplines, focusing on social justice and equity, engaging with diverse perspectives, and encouraging action and advocacy.

Abstract

Global climate and environmental protests are a widespread movement that aims to draw attention to the urgent need for action on climate change and environmental issues. The movement has gained momentum in recent years, as people around the world have become increasingly aware of the devastating effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and loss of biodiversity. This paper is theoretically grounded on social movement theory which navigated through several climate protests witnessed in recent times, particularly in sub-Sahara Africa. More than 7 million young people gather in cities throughout the globe in protest of the lack of action by world leaders to stop the severe effects of climate change and its accelerating rate. To put pressure on world leaders to act, Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate activist, and others call on students to leave their classes on Fridays to protest the unending climate crises. These campaigns have led to growing environmental activism as more young people are becoming aware of the devastating impact of climate change on their daily lives. It was discovered that; Students have been actively involved in several climate protests defying the institution’s authorities to protest for a change in the global conversation amid a series of rhetoric and indecision from world leaders. The paper has unearthed that, climate activism has yielded positive outcome which has brought transformation into global discourse in pursuit of strategic measures to address climate and environmental crises.
