 Giriş ve Hedefler Araştırma, Çankırı Karatekin Üniversitesi ÇAKÜ öğrencilerinin çevre sorunları ile Küresel İklim Değişikliği bilinç düzeyi, farkındalık, tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntemler Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, fen Orman Fakültesi, sağlık Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi ve sosyal İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi 1. Birinci ve 4. Dördüncü sınıflarında 2023-2024 öğretim yılında öğrenim gören toplam 300 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin KİD konusunda farkındalık, tutum ve davranışları yaş, cinsiyet, bölüm ve daha önce konuyla ilgili ders alıp almamalarına göre değerlendirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin dört yıllık üniversite eğitimlerinde konu hakkında ne kadar bilgi sahibi oldukları incelenmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket formu kullanılmıştır. Anket sonuçları, SPSS paket programında, yüzdelik ve ki kare testi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular Öğrenciler konu hakkında bilgi edinme kaynağı medya 68,3 ve okul 23,3 olarak belirtmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin 63,3ü bu konuda ders almadıklarını, 77,6sı konu hakkında yeterli eğitim almadıklarını belirtmiştir. Bu çevre felaketinden kendisinin de sorumlu olduğunu düşünen öğrencilerin oranı 90,7 olarak belirlenmiştir. Tüm bölümlerde, dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin KİD, enerji tüketimi, KİDnin nedenleri ve mücadele yöntemleri konularındaki farkındalık düzeyi daha yüksek çıkmıştır. Sonuçlar Çevre ve KİD konuları üniversitelerin tüm bölümlerinin eğitim müfredatı içerisine mutlak alınmalıdır. Sosyal bölümlerde çevre ve KİD konuları müfredatta daha çok yer almalıdır. Öğrenciler gelecekte KİDnin kendi hayatlarını olumsuz etkileyeceğini düşünmektedir.
