| Abstract | ||||
| This study aimed to assess the prevalence of climate change awareness among a sample of citizens of the Ismailia governorate and Egypt and explore its relationship with selected demographic variables. The research sample consisted of 861 participants (both males and females) aged between 12 and 75 years, with a mean age of 21.39 years and a standard deviation of 7.34 years. Climate change awareness was measured using a set of declarative statements which has an accepted reliability and validity. The findings revealed that 3.2% of the participants demonstrated no awareness of climate change, 23.6% exhibited low awareness, and 73.1% reported moderate to high levels of climate change awareness. Additionally, 78% of the sample believed that Egypt is not significantly vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change, while 91.3% considered climate change a global issue warranting attention. The results showed no relationship between awareness of climate change and age, gender, place of residence, and educational level. The study recommended organizing seminars to enhance Egyptian climate change awareness and promote sustainable behaviors to mitigate its adverse effects. | ||||
