Qumsiyeh, Mohammad Abusarhan","doi":"10.21747/0874-2375/afr37a4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21747/0874-2375/afr37a4","url":null,"abstract":"The recent pandemic of COVID-19 which is far worse than anything we humans dealt with since the 1917-1918 flu caused massive human suffering but presumably led to less human impact on the environment (Corlett et al., 2020: 3; March et al., 2021: 2; Pinder et al., 2020: 1061; Sharma et al., 2020: 1; Saadat et al., 2020: 5). In fact, this is one of the largest involuntary human confinement in history with massive repercussions for biodiversity (Bates et al., 2020: 4). The initial published data point to a mixed effect on environmental conservation. These recent studies were not focused on developing countries like Palestine. Herein we look at COVID-19 impact in Palestine (the geographic area which is now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories). Another question to address is whether we are locally and globally learning from this pandemic to alter our destructive behavior that has been ongoing since the industrial revolution and that lead to climate change and massive destruction of biodiversity. Have we for example learned anything from the fact that high pollution rates makes the population more vulnerable to pandemics (Zheng et al., 2020: 1) or that pandemics seem to arise more frequently due to human impact on the environment resulting in contact with wildlife and zoonotic diseases like COVID-19 (Everard et al., 2020: 9; Khetan, 2020: 1; Shreedhar & Mourato, 2020: 963). In some parts of the world, there were unexpected environmental impacts of the pandemic of COVID-19. For example, satellite imagery shows an increase in the Amazon forest fires after lockdown (Amador-Jiménez et al., 2020: 1081). Other environmental challenges imposed by COVID-19 include the large-scale production of face masks (Fadare & Okoffo, 2020: 2) and the disruption of plastic reduction efforts (Silva et al., 2020: 5). Another example is that increase in visitation to public parks and green spaces was noted to increase in some areas and decrease in others with differing effects on wildlife in those areas (Rutz et al., 2020: 4). The consensus of the earlier studies show that pandemics and lockdowns have more complex relation to environmental conservation and that more data are needed especially with regard to charting post-pandemic societal responses.

The convention entered into force on 21st March 1994. The 1977 Tbilisi Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education identified key objectives that allow learning for behavioral change and rejected the older model that presumes that increasing awareness of environmental issues (knowledge transfer) leads to behavioral change (Hungerford & Volk, 1990: 8). UNESCO suggested methods for integrating environmental education in schools via project-based approaches and student-centered learning techniques as well as civic engagement (Corraliza & Berenguer, 2000: 832; Fauville et al. 2014: 248). Article 6 of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) proposes educational programs for training and public awareness on climate change and its effects. The years 2005-2014 marked the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) and climate change was one of the most essential topics covered globally. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aims to empower the public to change the way of their thinking towards sustainable future (Anderson, 2012: 191; Mochizuki and Bryan 2015: 4). Yet, education must also lead to behavioral change among students (Karpudewan et al. 2017: 207) and it should engage people at the level of personal responsibility (Leal Filho, 2009: 6). UNFCCC set some guidelines regarding those1. Earlier studies demonstrate the values of well-structured programs for awareness leading to behavioral change especially in young people (see for example meta-analysis in Zelezny, 2010: 5). The national strategy for the State of Palestine also emphasized the need to develop environmental awareness and education to deal with the significant challenges facing the Palestinian environment especially Climate Change (EQA 2016; MOEHE, 2017).","PeriodicalId":34840,"journal":{"name":"Africana Studia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86916982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
