世界各地的许多大学一直是气候变化研究的活跃中心。然而，气候变化研究存在许多障碍，这些障碍源于研究的性质和机构的结构。本文概述了阻碍高等教育机构处理气候变化相关问题的障碍，并报告了一项利用全球高等教育机构调查来调查这些障碍的实证研究。最后，它提出了一些可以遵循的步骤，以使气候变化在大学研究和教学中更加现实和有效。这些措施包括改变研究、推广和教学方法，以更好地支持应对气候变化的行动。(C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Many universities around the world have been active centres of climate change research. However, there are a number of barriers to climate change research, stemming both from the nature of the research and the structure of institutions. This paper offers an overview of the barriers which hinder the handling of matters related to climate change at institutions of higher education (IHEs), and reports on an empirical study to investigate these barriers using a global survey of higher education institutions. It concludes by proposing some steps which could be followed with a view to making climate change more present and effective in university research and teaching. These include changing approaches to research, outreach and teaching to better support action on climate change. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
