Effects of Climate Change on Northeastern American Forests
Forests and forestry-related industries and ecosystem services play a critical role in the daily life of all societies, including in cultural, ecological, social, economic, and environmental aspects. Globally, there are about 4.1 billion hectares of forestland. In the United States, there are about 304 million hectares of forestland, covering about 34% of the total land area, and the forest product industry produces over USD 200 billion worth of forestry products annually. Evidence suggests these precious resources may be negatively impacted by climate change via direct and indirect processes, including wildfires, insect/pest pressure, drought, extreme storm events, increased air temperature, solar radiation, vapor pressure deficit, and other factors and variables that can be detrimental.

Higher Education Institutes on Community-Level Climate Action Plans
To drive a radical change toward a zero-carbon transition at the city scale, massive decarbonization is required at the institutional level (academic/non-academic campus) of a city. Among all the nongovernmental actors, it is always expected that Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) would take the lead in promoting a resilient and sustainable future for the cities through their education, research, and innovation. HEIs’ multidimensional activity resembles the “small scale model of a city” interacting with different subsystems like education, administration, transport, housing, health, etc.

Sukavichinomics: An Environmental Science Perspective
Thailand’s education system suffered a century of underinvestment and centralization, leaving most rural populations undereducated and economically vulnerable. By 1995, over 79% of Thai laborers had completed only primary education or less, with critical shortages in secondary and vocational training. This educational deficit contributed directly to widespread environmental degradation, including the loss of 88.84 million rai of forest cover between 1961 and 1995. Impoverished and uneducated rural communities expanded agriculture into forests as a survival strategy. The 1995 education reforms, known as Sukavichinomics, reframed education as a tool for environmental resilience by expanding infrastructure, decentralizing governance, and integrating environmental and vocational curricula. These reforms linked human capital development with sustainable land use and forest conservation. This paper explores how Sukavichinomics represents a paradigm shift in environmental science, emphasizing the role of equitable education in ecological sustainability and rural development.
