Youth-Led Heatwave Co-Adaptation Mapping Using Participatory Approaches

Youth-led spatio-temporal heatwave co-adaptation mapping through data-driven participatory dotmocracy approach

Authors

Randomized trial demonstrates improved climate literacy and adaptive capacity in rural youth, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

This study aims to enhance climate literacy and adaptive capacity among rural youth through participatory heatwave co-adaptation mapping.
Engaged thirty Form Three students in structured workshops in Segamat, Johor.
Conducted interactive activities including emoji-based reflections, quizzes, and dotmocracy mapping.
Assessed local climate trends and proposed adaptive strategies based on identified vulnerabilities.
Daily Tmax increased by 0.022 °C per year from 1950 to 2022, with March having 160 extreme heat days.
66.5% of workshop users experienced thermal discomfort in hot indoor areas, while classrooms maintained comfort for 75%.
Post-intervention, 70% of proposed adaptation strategies were structural or technological, indicating preference for active cooling measures.
