Promoting Environmental Sustainability Among Students and Citizens for a Sustainable Future

Abstract

Climate change is a dangerous problem that endangers the continuation of life. The sixth major extinction catastrophe in recorded history is being brought on by climate change. There is an existential threat to life on Earth from the climate changes brought on by the use of fossil fuels. Education increases young people's knowledge while simultaneously fostering awareness, enabling informed decision-making, and fostering changes in attitudes and behaviors. Education is essential to the global response to climate change. Climate change education (CCE) is one of the most significant approaches to increasing awareness of mitigating climate change. The majority of students must receive the knowledge, critical thinking skills, scientific understanding, and ethical frameworks necessary to prevent, adapt, and reverse climate change as a result of climate change education. Climate change education initiatives can play a significant role in developing communities of the kind of pragmatic visionaries needed to address new issues as they emerge and build on the successes of others.
