Climate Change Awareness and Knowledge among Select Community Colleges: Basis for Sustainable Intervention

This study sought to ascertain the variables influencing students' understanding of climate change who were enrolled in the National Service Training Program (NSTP) at several community colleges in Misamis Oriental. The study also sought to pinpoint the informational resources that were most easily accessible to students and had an impact on their level of climate change awareness. The research design for the study is descriptive-correlational and causal-comparative. No matter their demographic makeup, the three community colleges in Misamis Oriental that were chosen for the study included students who were quite aware of climate change's challenges. The top three main sources of information are radio, television, and the internet. Ecosystem viability, the degree of public knowledge of climate change, and information availability are all strongly correlated. Since their P-values are below the significance level, awareness and information accessibility substantially impact students' ecological viability.
