About

The Effect of "Green Future with Midwife Hands" Climate Change Animation on Mothers' Climate Change Awareness and Behavior Climate change appears as one of the most important environmental problems of today. Many negative effects such as the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, sea level rise and the frequency of extreme weather events threaten both natural ecosystems and human life. In this context, it is of great importance for individuals to gain awareness about climate change and exhibit environmentally friendly behavior for a sustainable future. In particular, mothers and expectant mothers have the potential to create significant awareness and change by choosing products that do not harm the environment, while looking for the best for their babies. Reducing plastic use, choosing organic textile products, using biodegradable wet wipes and choosing toys made from natural materials both protect babies' health and support environmental sustainability. This awareness reinforces the environmentally friendly behavior of mothers and helps future generations grow up as more conscious individuals. The role of mothers in this regard is undeniably great for a sustainable future. While mothers making environmentally friendly choices increases the environmental awareness of not only their own families but also the wider masses, being careful when choosing carbon footprint baby products both protects the health of babies and reduces environmental impacts.

This research aims to encourage mothers and expectant mothers to make environmentally friendly and carbon footprint-reducing choices when choosing baby products by increasing the climate change awareness of mothers and expectant mothers through the "Green Future with Midwife Hands" Climate Change Animation.

Full description

Climate change is one of the most important ecological problems of the 21st century, which causes global warming due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere resulting from human activities. This situation creates serious effects on economic, social, environmental and health. Women, especially in developing countries, are more affected by climate change; when water and food security decreases, these responsibilities make them more vulnerable socially and economically. This project aims to raise awareness of climate change for mothers through animation-based education and to encourage them to prefer nature-friendly baby products. It also aims to contribute to leaving a cleaner future for nature by providing guidance to mothers on the correct management of waste. The project has unique value as it is the first animation education model specialized for mothers in Turkey and contributes to sustainable development goals.
