DIGI-FC-CECC: Turning Climate Science into an Interactive Learning Adventure

One of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century is climate change. The key contributors to carbon emission are transport and energy sectors (IEA, 2023). However, climate literacy among students remains insufficient, as learners often struggle to understand technical terminology and its relevance to daily life. DIGI-FC-CECC (Digital Flashcards for Carbon Emission and Climate Change) has been developed to address this issue as an interactive educational innovation. DIGI-FC-CECC introduces terms and definition for carbon emissions and climate change on the Quizlet platform. Students’ are provided with study features (flashcards, learn, test) and gamified activities (Blast, Match, Blocks, Quizlet Live). Supporting divers learning needs, the platform equipped with audio function and the material can also be printed. By combining scientific knowledge with engaging learning strategies, DIGI-FC-CECC aims to improve climate literacy, encourage sustainable behaviour, and support education for sustainable development.
