Fostering Transnational Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education: An Exploration of Climate-Smart Practices

This paper discusses the pressing need for a transboundary approach to tackle climate change through STEM education, which is currently limited by traditional education methods. It introduces the Climate-Smart Transnational STEM Framework, encompassing seven dimensions: Cross-border Collaboration, Localised Climate Context, Innovation for Mitigation and Adaptation, Measurement and Data, Awareness and Action, Teacher Capacity, and Equity and Access.
