As human activities are the most significant cause for this crisis, the solution must come from within humanity. While global movements—NGOs, universities, municipal governments, etc.—are doing their part to combat the crisis, the role of education and technology cannot be emphasized enough. Education is necessary to enhance awareness, especially among the youth, generate solutions, and implement them. Technology contributes to this process by creating climate change-fighting solutions, accumulating and analysing data, and providing energy efficiency. Technology also enables the monitoring of the climate, the mitigation of its effects, and the enhancement of the environment. Therefore, climate change, education, and the use of technology should be addressed as a unit. In this volume, the authors integrate climate change, education, and technological applications. This book is comprehensive and offers readers a variety of perspectives, encouraging the generation of novel and inventive ideas. The collaboration of authors from various disciplines to address the issue brings about novel and intriguing perspectives.
