Climate change is the most urgent and complex global crisis facing mankind, and coping with climate change has become a top priority for mankind. What can education contribute to human response to climate change? How to play the role of education to slow down and adapt to climate change?

Recently, at the Sixth World Education Frontier Forum with the theme of "Climate Education and Learning: Turn the tide and Start with Me", experts and scholars from home and abroad discussed these issues in combination with the latest research results in climate change education.

What can education do for climate change?

Ma Fengqi, dean of the School of Education of Guangzhou University, believes that in the face of the increasingly severe challenge of climate change, what human beings can do is to start from me, from now on, from everyone’s daily life, and education is duty-bound.

Yin Houqing, vice-president of the 8th Council of China Education Association and president of Shanghai Education Association, conducted a survey on 236 primary and secondary schools in Shanghai. He found that the surveyed schools designed 400 scientific projects in project-based learning, and the environment-related projects accounted for about 20%, which was a high proportion in general. However, the projects related to climate change account for 2.5%, which is very low.

Yue Wei, a professor at the School of Education of Huazhong Normal University, believes that tackling climate change is not only a scientific and social issue, but also an educational issue, and education must take active action. The value orientation of education in coping with climate change lies in slowing down and adapting to climate change.

"For a long time, education has always followed the modern development paradigm centered on economic growth. This is undoubtedly aggravating the survival crisis of mankind and the earth. " Yue Wei said that in order to alleviate, adapt and even reverse climate change, education itself must be changed, and its important direction is its own ecologicalization.

In addition, an evaluation survey of international students by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that young people generally have a good understanding of climate change. Among the students surveyed, nearly 80% said they knew or were very familiar with climate change and global warming.

Deborah Nusa, a senior analyst of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, believes that the education system plays an important role in climate change by influencing the way of thinking, behavior and life choices. At the same time, climate change provides an opportunity for education: to help young people improve their thinking skills and accept complexity better.

What challenges does climate change education face?

In East Asia, a region with a strong atmosphere of exam-oriented education, how can we carry out an education that seems to be not directly related to further studies and exams? Li Shengbing, dean of the School of Education Science of South China Normal University and executive director of the Hong Kong and Macao Research Center, pointed out that the implementation of climate change education is indeed a big problem.

Pei Qing, an associate professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, has long been engaged in research on climate change education. In his teaching practice, he found that when talking to students about global climate change, students usually feel very far away from themselves. When studying climate change, it is difficult for students to feel the traces of climate change.

Pei Qing believes that how to close the distance between students and climate change education, effectively promote climate change education, and enhance young people’s scientific literacy and humanistic feelings are issues that need to be considered in climate change education.

"At present, in some countries, school science teaching has not changed much in the past ten years, becoming more and more outdated and out of touch with real scientific practice in the real world." Deborah Nusa believes that school science education plays a vital role in cultivating future scientists, so attracting and supporting students to further their studies in the STEM field is the key to strengthening green development.

Teachers are the key to the implementation of climate change education, but teachers around the world generally lack the necessary knowledge, resources and teaching training related to climate change education, and cannot effectively implement climate change education in the classroom. A recent survey conducted by UNESCO on 58,280 teachers in 144 countries shows that less than 40% teachers are confident to teach climate change knowledge.

How to carry out climate change education?

Gong Peng, vice president of the University of Hong Kong and professor of global sustainable development, pointed out that many climate change problems are not profound, and climate change education should start with dolls.

He believes that the relevant knowledge of climate change should be designed in the basic education system, from kindergarten to high school, giving priority to the knowledge of climate change on health threats, starting with the simple knowledge of coping with high temperature and heat waves, and gradually increasing the systematic knowledge of coping with climate change.

Climate change education involves meteorology, geography, physics, chemistry, sociology, economics, politics and other disciplines. Yue Wei pointed out that the implementation of climate education should move from a single discipline to a multi-disciplinary integration, and the unique advantages of different disciplines should be brought into play to achieve the effect of collaborative education.

Li Xingwei, president of Macau University of Science and Technology, an academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering, believes that the government can use the database to carry out popular science activities and cooperate with secondary schools and universities to improve students’ awareness of climate change. The development of climate change education needs interdisciplinary thinking. At the university level, tourism industry, environment, economy and other disciplines all intersect. He hopes that the construction of these related subjects in China can form an all-round talent training system from undergraduate to doctoral level.

Yue Wei believes that student-centered experiential teaching and inquiry learning are the most effective for climate change education. These teaching methods can make students connect with the real world, give full play to their creativity, and then find solutions to problems from different angles.

Yin Houqing also believes that climate education is not only to teach people the skills to cope with climate change in their lives, but also to enable students to form the values they need to adapt to climate change, thus driving behavioral changes. In the construction and implementation of the climate change education curriculum, the thematic learning mode promotes learners from knowledge learning to understanding learning, and then connects with life, so as to improve the quality of ecological civilization.

The "World Education Frontier Forum" is a cross-disciplinary international education exchange platform founded by the China Education Thirty Forum, with the aim of "leading the trend and creating the future". The forum aims to promote the international exchange of the latest educational ideas and models, promote the application of the latest educational technology, and realize the all-round development of education in the future. The forum was hosted by the China Education Thirty Forum, in cooperation with the Education Policy Research Center of the University of Hong Kong, and co-organized by Tian Jiabing Foundation, the National and Regional Research Base of the Ministry of Education, the Hong Kong and Macao Research Center of South China Normal University, and the School of Education of Guangzhou University.

Swimming is a sport that people often participate in in summer.

People swim in the water in hot summer.

It can not only prevent heatstroke and cool down, but also be beneficial to health.

But long-term contact with the water in the swimming pool

It may also cause damage to the skin

↓↓↓

Three kinds of damage to the skin

01

Direct damage of disinfectant in water

At present, the chlorination disinfection method is commonly used in public swimming pools, which will damage the skin and hair and make the skin dry and dehydrated, so most people will have dry skin and hair after swimming.

02

cutaneous allergy

People with sensitive constitution will have skin allergic reaction, erythema, papules and itching symptoms.

03

May be infected with infectious diseases

Some indoor swimming pools have too many people, and the disinfection of public goods is not thorough, which will make people infected with diseases such as tinea and scabies.

Although the probability is not great, swimming in the swimming pool is likely to cause skin diseases, especially in places with more traffic such as water parks. Among them, cases of tinea pedis and infectious plantar warts after swimming are more common.

How to find a clean and safe swimming pool?

Is the water clean?

Does the bacterial content exceed the standard?

Is there enough disinfectant?

Find a clean and safe swimming pool

Keep these details in mind.

01

Look at the papers

According to "Regulations on Hygiene Management in Public Places", "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Regulations on Hygiene Management in Public Places" and other laws and regulations, the operators of swimming pools need to publicize the hygiene license, annual inspection report and hygiene reputation grade mark in the eye-catching position of swimming pools.

Operators of swimming places must obtain the hygiene license of public places before they can open their business to the outside world, and should show their business license and accept social supervision.

Before entering a public swimming pool, consumers should pay attention to whether the public health permit and the health certificate of employees are publicized in a conspicuous place in the swimming place.

02

Distinguishing water quality by "looking, smelling and asking"

First look: before entering the swimming pool, you must first look at the color and transparency of the water. In a swimming pool with good water quality, if it is covered with white porcelain, it will show bright light blue; If there are light blue tiles, it is dark blue; The pool water must meet the crystal clear conditions, depending on whether there are particles floating on the water surface, whether there is precipitation at the bottom of the pool, and whether the sprayed foam can dissipate within 15 seconds.

Second smell: you can smell the faint chlorine gas close to the water surface, indicating that the residual chlorine content is basically qualified. If you feel pungent and difficult to adapt, it means that the content of residual chlorine has exceeded the standard, which will cause harm to your body.

Three questions: Ask the staff about the replacement time, frequency and test results of the pool water, as well as the daily maintenance measures.

Four cuts: Feel whether there is skin discomfort in the pool water with your hands. People who often swim can feel the softness and hardness of the water. Feeling "soft" indicates that the water quality is excellent, feeling "hard" and astringent, even itching and pain, and the water quality may be poor.

03

Look at the sanitation facilities

See if the swimming place is equipped with dressing rooms, shower rooms, toilets, closed garbage bins and mechanical ventilation facilities that meet the hygiene requirements.

Check whether the water temperature, residual chlorine concentration, pH value and other indicators of the swimming pool on that day are qualified through the electronic bulletin board or text bulletin board of the swimming venue.

Tips for swimming health in summer

01

Swimming equipment and wearing swimming glasses can also reduce the direct contact between the water in the swimming pool and the eyes.

Summer is the high incidence of pinkeye, which is transmitted through contact. If a patient swims in a swimming pool, it may spread inflammation to other swimmers. The residual chlorine in swimming pool water with a certain concentration can effectively inhibit the reproduction of bacteria and prevent the spread of diseases. However, if the concentration of residual chlorine is too high, it will also cause harm to eyes.

02

Control the swimming time, generally within 2 hours.

Because skin diseases and other germs have to stay in the body for a period of time before they can be transmitted to the body, swimming time should not be too long, and it is best to control it within two hours. Finally, thoroughly washing the whole body with clear water after swimming can wash away pathogenic microorganisms that may pollute the skin and reduce the risk of skin diseases.

03

Reduce touching the public goods in the swimming pool, prepare towels and slippers by yourself and store them in the cupboard.

04

Pay attention to your own health and seek medical advice in time.

If you find yourself with skin damage or skin diseases, try not to go to the swimming pool in order to avoid infection or aggravate skin diseases. If you feel unwell, such as stinging eyes and skin, you should leave the swimming pool in time and clean the residual pathogenic microorganisms and disinfectants.

05

Replenish water before and after swimming.

You will sweat when swimming, but because your body is wet, you often can’t feel the loss of water in your body, resulting in dehydration. Nutritionists suggest drinking 600 ~ 800 ml of water before swimming, and replenishing water in time after swimming.
