Abstract:
The phenomenon of climate change is a challenge for the way we organize our lives and economic aspects. Attention in this field is growing and there is a constant need for education in this field. Starting from the idea that the best asset is investing in education, the paper aims at education in the field of climate change among children and adolescents in Romania. In the paper we aim to study and discuss various interactive methods that can be used to understand the phenomenon, how we adapt and how we mitigate climate change from an educational perspective.

We will discuss educational methods used in champion countries on climate change, we will also propose new methods.

We will refer to the following age categories: preschoolers, schoolchildren, high school students, students and we try to answer the question: What functional methods do we have to educate in the field of climate change?

Having the ability to understand the connection between general issues and individual issues related to climate change, we can create a basis for promoting a sustainable environment.
