CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION FOR MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION IN ENGINEERING

Climate change mitigation and adaptation represent two basic strategies in the fight against climate change and two basic directions of modern education for climate change. Engineers, as creators of new technologies and solutions in various fields, have an inevitable impact on climate change, but at the same time, they can contribute to solving this significant problem. For this reason, climate change education of engineers is an imperative of modern times. The work is aimed at elaborating the need for climate change education of engineers, identifying ways of integrating climate change into the curriculum, as well as understanding the challenges and problems accompanying the integration and implementation of climate change education in engineering. In addition, the paper aims to map courses on climate change in the current higher education engineering curricula in Serbia.
