At present, the global effects of climate change have already gone beyond economic globalization. Man affects climate, and climate affects man. As an important part of the natural environment on which human beings live, any change of climate will have an impact on the natural ecosystem, social economic system and human health. Today, in the information age, human health is considered to be a combination of ecological, socio-cultural, economic and institutional decisions, and climate change has had an extremely important impact on human health. Therefore, this paper summarizes the trends of global climate change and the potential threats to human health, and proposes expectations for future development.

Grounded in research-based examples, this chapter provides a resource for students, teachers, and researchers to critically engage with issues of climate change through leveraging the affordances of digital tools. In particular, the authors discuss the affordances and challenges of students using digital tools to address climate change. They also review research in this field, including studies on visualizations, analyzing information, social media, digital videos, digital role-play, video games, and virtual and augmented reality. The chapter describes how digital tools offer meaning-making possibilities for students to propose solutions to climate change through engaging multimodal narratives, as well as share their voices through digital activism. Considering that global climate change is perhaps the most serious problem human beings have ever faced, this chapter offers implications for curriculum and instruction to aid educators with designing digital projects for students to understand climate change and find ways to take a stand.
