AbstractScientific literacy is the main key to face challenges in the 21st century to solve problems in everyday life such as water and food, energy, disease, and climate change. Lack of understanding of 'what is nano', the foundation of various disciplines, widely used jargons, and various scientific terms that are difficult to understand, make nanotechnology difficult to be accepted by the wider community. However, this can be overcome by simplifying these complex concepts and presenting them in an interesting way. Media such as story books, infographic posters, interactive videos can be used to explain complex concepts in a simple form. Abroad, there are many story books that raise the concept of nanotechnology and present it in a simple and interesting way. Therefore, the form of picture story books for early childhood and elementary schools can be an effective delivery medium for the concept of nanotechnology.Keywords: education, early children, role of nanotechnology, story books AbstrakLiterasi sains merupakan kunci utama untuk menghadapi berbagai tantangan pada abad 21 untuk memecahkan masalah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari seperti air dan makanan, energi, penyakit, dan perubahan iklim. Hal ini juga berdampak terhadap kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat Indonesia terhadap teknologi yang berkembang saat ini, salah satunya nanoteknologi. Kurangnya pemahaman tentang ‘apa itu nano’, fondasi dari macam-macam disiplin ilmu, jargon-jargon yang banyak dipergunakan, dan berbagai istilah ilmiah yang sulit dipahami, menyebabkan nanoteknologi sulit diterima oleh masyarakat luas. Namun, hal ini bisa diatasi dengan penyederhanaan konsep-konsep rumit ini dan menyajikannya dengan cara yang menarik. Hal ini sudah banyak dilakukan oleh bidang ilmu lain. Media seperti, buku cerita, poster infografis, video interaktif dapat digunakan untuk menjelaskan konsep rumit dalam bentuk yang sederhana. Di luar negeri sudah banyak buku cerita yang mengangkat konsep nanoteknologi dan menyajikannya secara sederhana dan menarik. Oleh karena itu, bentuk buku cerita bergambar untuk anak usia dini dan sekolah dasar dapat menjadi media penyampaian yang efektif untuk konsep nanoteknologi.Kata kunci: anak usia dini, buku cerita, peran nanoteknologi, pendidikan

Climate change is a politically-polarised issue, with conservatives less likely than liberals to perceive it as human-caused and consequential. Furthermore, they are less likely to support mitigation and adaptation policies needed to reduce its impacts. This study aimed to examine whether John Oliver’s “A Mathematically Representative Climate Change Debate” clip on his program Last Week Tonight polarised or depolarised a politically-diverse audience on climate policy support and behavioural intentions. One hundred and fifty-nine participants, recruited via Amazon MTurk (94 female, 64 male, one gender unspecified, Mage = 51.07, SDage = 16.35), were presented with either John Oliver’s climate change consensus clip, or a humorous video unrelated to climate change. Although the climate change consensus clip did not reduce polarisation (or increase it) relative to a control on mitigation policy support, it resulted in hyperpolarisation on support for adaptation policies and increased climate action intentions among liberals but not conservatives.

This chapter introduces the role of development as a self-interested policy pursued by industrialized states in an increasingly connected world. As such, it is differentiated from traditional geopolitical accounts of interactions between industrialized and developing states as well as from assertions that the increased focus on development stems from altruistic motivations. The concept of targeted development—pursuing development abroad when and where it serves the interests of the policymaking states—is introduced and defined. The issue areas covered in the book—foreign aid, trade agreements between industrialized and developing countries, and finance for climate change adaptation and mitigation—are introduced. The preference for bilateral, rather than multilateral, action is discussed.
