The city of Penonomé, in the province of Coclé, Panama, has significantly experienced the effects of climate change in recent decades.
The consequences of climate change are manifested by an increase in natural disasters, floods, storm surges that penetrate coastal towns, rising sea levels and mass movement, with the resulting material damage and human, agricultural and livestock losses.
A segment of the student population of the Leonila Pinzón de Grimaldo IPT is exposed to a high level of risk since they must travel from their residences using rural roads, which are very exposed to tropical storms, floods and landslides, typical of the area during the rainy season. For this reason, we have used induction to improve the levels of climate resilience and mitigation aimed at its students, as an effective measure to reduce the possibility of being affected by disasters related to climate change.
A design was carried out to identify the level of climate resilience and mitigation to reduce the level of vulnerability using a methodology consisting of: a pre-test to diagnose the students' prior knowledge about climate change, and their level of climate resilience and mitigation. Followed by an induction to reduce risks with safety measures in the different climate disasters in their environment, using images and simulators to visualize the environmental and social effects. Finally, a post-test was applied, observing an improvement in their knowledge and adaptation to climate change.
