Abstract

Climate change is among the most relevant issues of our time, having been discussed for decades by researchers, governments, and society. It refers to long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns, mainly driven by human activity. This research will be developed to produce an educational resource with an accessible and dynamic approach to climate change, encouraging student reflection and engagement. It will explore essential content such as the history of global warming, environmental and social impacts, sustainability, mitigation strategies, and sustainable practices, providing a solid foundation for learning and the development of critical thinking. In addition to supporting classroom discussions and activities, this material will serve as a pedagogical tool for teachers, encouraging interactive methodologies and promoting students' active involvement in research and debate on the topic.
