Abstract
Growing up in the age of rapid climate change is the biggest health threat that the humanity is facing today. The Earth’s climate is getting altered fast by the increased emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report on Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI) has clearly indicated that India’s geographic and socio-economic susceptibilities are the highest among all other nations. The mapping of all sensitive areas, industries and population concentrations at a local level can help to take appropriate action in order to adapt to conditions posed by climatic crisis which will help to strengthen resilience in future. Higher Education Institutions (HEI) can play a major role in bringing a paradigm shift of how and how much we teach about climate change related issues and their mitigation measures. India’s National Education Policy 2020 aims at imparting a holistic and multidisciplinary education with flexible and innovative curricula. To bridge the gaps through education and awareness, this study analyses the nuances of current education system and puts forward a framework for understanding the methods to mitigate the impacts of climate change by integrating ‘National Goals’ into ‘Education Policy of HEI’ through a multi-disciplinary approach that considers the new technology and traditional knowledge
