Abstract

In furtherance of this study, this paper explores the significance of environmental education in raising awareness about the climate change issue as well as an urgent call to action. Well, there is increasing concern about the issue, much attention needs to be paid to the ways, in which education can combine both aspects. Environmental education is a valuable method to facilitate the public awareness on the climate change science, repercussions of climate change as well as sustainability. From the position of both scholarly studies and practical experience, this paper aims at identifying how EE programs in schools and communities and media campaigns assist in enhancing climate literacy. The paper includes real-life examples that show how participants succeed at changing their behavior and advocating for ecological policies after going through environmental education programs. Moreover, it also describes some activities for effective implementation of environmental education as well as problems and constraints include lack of resources and low EE awareness, among others. In highlighting these possibilities and exploring novel strategies, this study demonstrates how environmental eduation may serve as a powerful agent for personal and communities’ change towards positive climate action. It is the argument that promising environmental education as an apartheid between curricula and mob talk needed to grow a generation ready to face climate problems and change.
