Purpose Higher education plays a vital role in educating citizens about climate change and promoting pro-environment behavior. Based on this statement, this study aims to analyze and evaluate students’ perception of climate change at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji. The study aims to understand the main ideas and concepts of climate change by analyzing information habits and individual opinions on the causes of climate change as perceived by the students of two student organizations aimed at environmental protection. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach was used to gather data on students’ perceptions and information habits toward climate change. The data were collected through a questionnaire to characterize students from the socio-demography and their perceptions, information habits and knowledge relating to climate change. This paper uses the case study method to examine students’ climate change perceptions at two different student organizations at the same university. The research study involved a focus group technique. Two focus groups at the University of the South Pacific were administered. The focus groups’ selection in this study took into account the aims and objectives of the students’ organization toward climate change awareness, adaptation, mitigation and environment protection. Findings The focus groups participants believe that climate change is a serious problem in the South Pacific region. Results suggest significant differences in climate change perception at the two students’ organizations chosen for this study. Students at the Econesian society nicknamed climate change as a nuclear weapon for the South Pacific responsible for changes in the habitat, coral bleaching, lifestyle changes, mother of all other environmental problems and the introduction of invasive species into Fiji. Students at Wantok Moana-related climate change to drastic weather changes, lack of fish feed and additional toxins in the sea. The results also showed that students at the Econesian society have a better understanding of climate change than the students of Wantok Moana. Practical implications This paper provides an insight into how students of Small Islands Developing States view climate change and the factors affecting their opinions. It also shows how climate change perception varies within the same university. This implies the need to integrate climate change into the higher education curriculum and more research on this topic. Originality/value This paper is the first to compare and contrast university students’ climate change perception in Fiji. The results make an essential contribution to the extant climate change literature by identifying and categorizing climate change perception and the factors that shape students’ perception of climate change from the university students’ perspective in Fiji.
In today’s world the environmental problems call for the serious solutions before they reach the point of no return. University students as scholars must be well informed about the current pressing environmental problems through formal education and informal education and become role models and champions of protecting the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of environmental awareness and pro-environmental behaviour among undergraduate Geography students at State University of Malang. This study used descriptive qualitative research design using survey method. To collect data, questionnaire was distributed among 100 respondents selected using simple random sampling method. Results on environmental awareness indicated that, most of the students were well informed and possessed higher understanding of environmental problems. However, the findings on self-reported environmentally responsible behaviour indicated otherwise that only few students practiced pro-environmental behaviour. There was a mismatch between students’ awareness on environmental problems and their actions towards environmentally responsible behaviour. That means being environmentally awareness does not necessarily translate directly into environmentally responsible behaviour. There is need to increase rising awareness and enhance university students’ engagement to sustainability activities to establishing sustainable initiatives both on campus and beyond.
