Why Climate Education is
Important?
8 EDUCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE GLOBAL RESPONSE
TO CLIMATE CHANGE. IT HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
AND ADDRESS THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING, ENCOURAGES
CHANGES IN THEIR ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOR AND HELPS THEM
ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE-RELATED TRENDS..
GOALS OF CLIMATE EDUCATION:

9
Climate change education has various goals, which
include understanding the basic science of climate and
climate change; supporting informed decision making by
individuals, organizations, and institutions; behavior
change; and stewardship where appropriate—all of
which are often summarized under the term “climate
literacy.” The ultimate goal is sometimes stated as
positive impacts on the climate, mostly in terms of
stabilizing and mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases,
but increasingly also including the increased capacity to
adapt to the consequences of climate change.
 Environmental Education aims to provide
individuals with the skills needed to work
individually and collectively toward solutions
to current environmental problems and to
prevent future ones. From this perspective,
10 the goals of environmental education are to
foster awareness and concern about
economic, social, political, and ecological
interdependence in urban and rural areas;
to enhance the knowledge, values, attitudes,
commitment, and skills needed to protect
and improve the environment; and to create
new patterns of behavior toward the
environment
