Recently, sustainable development practices have increased attention as climate change and environmental impacts increased. Interventions to encourage sustainability awareness are developing, so fostering them through education is crucial. Evidence-based studies conducted in this field suggested the use of different digital tools promote learning gains foster better among students. Following PRISMA method, we found 21 articles published between 2013 2023 showing an interest learners. Findings indicate that virtual reality topics most trending research area. Further, results show a positive impact on students’ concern for planet.

To reach necessary greenhouse gas emissions targets, behavior change is at the consumer level. However, standard information-based interventions struggle to environmentally impactful behaviors like beef consumption. Experience-based communication that engages non-analytical systems can be crucial for changing our beliefs makes a difference. Immersive virtual reality (VR) in metaverse represents shift toward experience-based environmental communication. In this preregistered 2 (VR experience vs. VR information) x (indulgent explicit labeling) study (N = 167), we tested effectiveness of and cost-effective nudging promote sustainable diets.

One discussion in the context of education for sustainable development centres on importance cognitive as well affective processes promoting pro-environmental behaviour. In our study, we investigate how affordances immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) such virtual embodiment a tree might provide new opportunities to achieve this goal. The aim study was twofold: Firstly, investigated whether multisensory enhancement iVR has an additional, supporting effect mechanisms that are vital fostering nature connectedness and behaviour compared non-enhanced iVR. Secondly, examined relationships between mediating variables explain underlying can be promoted through experimental design (N = 82), tested effects embodying considered behaviour: a) embodiment, b) perspective-taking, c) reflection relationship oneself nature, d) nature. According self-reported measures, participants developed feeling were able change their perspective by stepping into tree's point view. Users also succeeded situating experience greater context, often reflecting role humankind towards However, found does not lead additional increase connectedness, but is associated with higher level taking action slightly more reflective processes.

Virtual reality is a technological development that, among others, has revolutionized Earth sciences. Its advantages include an opportunity to examine places otherwise difficult or impossible access and it may also become important component of education, fostering better understanding processes landforms, geohazard awareness, appreciation geoheritage. This paper reports on the GeoVT project, which aims create platform build disseminate Field Trips (VFTs) focused geomorphology, natural hazards associated with geomorphological processes, geoheritage sites. To put project in context, overview applications VR geosciences provided. subsequently proceeds presentation Authoring application, innovative designed help teachers students, followed by brief presentations number VFTs developed within project. They address themes such as fluvial landforms valley development, coastal evidence past glaciation, erosion, wildfire effects, mud volcanoes, landslides.

This paper delves into the environmental and climate impacts of Metaverse technologies social implications these impacts. Current literature primarily focuses on potential negative or positive effects environment change without offering practical solutions approaches to mitigate effects. Furthermore, little consideration is given global issues such as inequalities, digital divides, corporate responsibility. integrative review aims provide a deeper understanding how may impact sustainability while relevant their associated implications. grounded in Dwivedi et al.'s (2022) three concepts used explain pollution-getting Metaverse: 1) development, use, application various tools consume significant amount energy, 2) data storage, processing, transmission for use can lead substantial emission CO2, 3) e-waste from electronic products could have environment. The research methodology adopted was an design which multiple sources were analyzed comprehensive topic. Findings revealed five critical areas will likely implications: (a) energy consumption, (b) e-waste, (c) rare earth metals conflict minerals, (d) changes physical travel, (e) encouraging sustainable behaviors. findings underscore role renewable alternative resources, recycling initiatives, inclusivity, cross-sector collaboration mitigating These ensuring just equitable society where offers equal opportunities different populations.

Climate change education is crucial for fostering informed and engaged future generations. However, traditional pedagogies often fail to engage learners fully provide real-world, experiential learning. This paper presents a novel approach climate through three-day virtual reality (VR) hackathon. The hackathon focused on four United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—Quality Education, Affordable Clean Energy, Cities Communities, Action. Using VR technology game design software, engineering students worked in teams. They competed against each other designing immersive environments that demonstrated their understanding of these SDGs change. Our goal was encourage the development empathy, education, awareness around critical global issues. also integrated authentic assessments, mirroring real-world tasks providing more practical relevant learning experience. findings suggest this has significantly enhanced students’ issues, competency with technologies, as well teamwork problem-solving skills. discusses hackathon’s design, implementation, outcomes, highlighting potential such innovative approaches tackling awareness.
