Quality Child–Parent Relationships and Their Impact on Intergenerational Learning and Multiplier Effects in Climate Change Education. Are We Bridging the Knowledge–Action Gap?

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

 The additions add to the conversation on IGL in climate change context settings. 

Author Response

Dear reviewer,

Thank you very much for this positive comment. I'm looking forward to further cooperation.

Reviewer 2 Report

It could be considered that the discussion and conclusions could be elaborated a little more, on the other hand there are quotations missing in the bibliography:

41.- (Papaoikonomou, Ryan & Ginieis 2011; Langenbach et. al. 2019)

42.- (Blake 1999; Flynn, Bellaby & Ricci 2010; Chung & Leung 2007)

68.- Paco 2017 = Paço, 201

424.- Riede et. al.

Finally, the number of authors in the citations could be increased, so as not to repeat so many of them. There are authors whose quotations are more than four times.

Taking into account these considerations, the article can be taken to a higher level, although the current one is good.

Added Doi Link in the bibliography where possible

Added authors contribution, funding, acknowledgements, no conflict of interests, appendix A and B

Reviewer 3 Report

• Some references to curriculum of geography in Austria for 8th grade should be included to contextualize better the knowledge contents of students
• Powerful knowledge on geography education literature would also be cited in the articule
• Another important title is missing https://www.routledge.com/Climate-Change-Education-Knowing-doing-and-being-1st-Edition/Chew-Hung/p/book/9780415641968

Author Response

Dear reviewer,

thank you very much for your advice. I tried to improve the quality of the article:

Added the important title about CCE in the introduction

C.H., Chang (2014): Climate Change Education. Knowing, doing and being. Hoboken: Taylor and Francis. Online under: http://gbv.eblib.com/patron/FullRecord.aspx?p=1687392.) (line 32)

Mentioned curricula of Geography in appendix A

In order to better contextualize the knowledge content on climate change of the students participating in the CCE program k.i.d.Z.21, the linking of the Bavarian curriculum of class 8 in the subject Geography is mentioned in appendix A: http://www.gym8-lehrplan.bayern.de/contentserv/3.1.neu/g8.de/id_26283.html [20.08.2020]

-> But not sure if this is helpful as the curricula is in the German language

Changed citation stile in the bibliography

BEFORE:
