Significance On the same day, opening speakers in a high-profile forum in Abu Dhabi highlighted the emirate’s commitment to renewable energy. Despite the rhetoric and their own vulnerability, however, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are lagging behind global efforts to tackle climate change and remain heavily dependent on oil revenue. Impacts Forecast rises in summer temperatures will deter foreign investment and expatriate workers in future. A collapse in oil prices would cut the funding available to develop clean energy. Failure to stem wasteful hydrocarbons energy consumption will make it harder for renewables to compete. Gulf states’ populations will be largely disengaged from global efforts to combat climate change.

Abstract Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is essential for achieving SDG’s goals, including goal 13: take urgent action to combat climate change and its impact. Game-based learning is a promising cutting-edge innovation in learning methods. Nevertheless, the internationalization of higher education demanding more technology utilization to enable transnational classes. This study provides a SWOT analysis of the online game-based learning (OGBL) method on clime change issues. Based on the PRISMA guidelines, this study concludes that OGBL has more strengths and opportunities than weaknesses and threats. Strength factors namely flexible, engaging, and enhance the learning process. Opportunities such as emerging academic community and events, developing new professions, and abundance of the development areas. However, game development is complex as a weakness. The varieties of technology savviness levels among facilitators and users and the digital divide are threats to OGBL.

<p>If literacy can be defined as competence or knowledge in a specific area, then climate change literacy is competence or knowledge in the area of climate change, its impacts, and its solutions. Climate change literacy is a vital element in strategies for meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts" — and, frankly, safeguarding the survival of the human species and most life on Earth. Developing climate change literacy in individuals, institutions, and societies entails understanding why it is important, who must be involved, what it includes, where and when it takes place, how to deal with challenges that arise, and what the end result, a climate-change-literate citizen, will look like.</p>
